Bonobo, AKA Simon Green, returns with his new album Distance in Static evoking fragments
of memory and meaning echoed across more than two decades at the forefront of electronic music.
The acclaimed British musician, producer and DJ known for his richly textured, globally
influenced sound palette continues his long-standing tradition of inspired collaborations,
featuring Joy Crookes, Ichiko Aoba, Nilfer Yanya, Arooj Aftab, Nicole Miglis (Hundred
Waters) and Aanya Martin. Lyrics appear in English, Urdu and Japanese, while historic Iranian
samples and guzheng recordings sit alongside Greens own meticulously processed
instrumentation, woven together across recording sessions spanning LA, Tokyo, London and
beyond with a significant portion of the record completed at Neil Youngs legendary Broken
Arrow Ranch in California. Its a record that represents the culmination of over 25 years as an
artist and DJ. A reminder, if ever one was needed, of Bonobos enduring influence newly felt by
a generation rediscovering 90s genres through a contemporary lens. That duality introspective
composer and club-focused selector sits at the heart of a body of work full of depth, detail and
emotion: both beautiful and driving; as ambitious and forward-thinking as ever.
