Migration - The New Album from Bonobo

After a three year wait, Bonobo has finally honored us with a new album, Migration. His sixth record, it appeared in January on the London label Ninja Tune.

Simon Green, as the master of the combination of Trip Hop, Downbeat and Ambient is called in real life, has incorporated his personal idea of identity and home into the sound of Migration. The core of this album lies in the interplay of approach and arrival, the sequence of building up something and setting it up just to break it down again. Most interested in migrations, "exploring people and spaces," the English producer points out his motivation for addressing the issue: "It's interesting how one person wants to take an idea from one part of the world and move with that influence and affect another part of the world. Over the years, the identities of places evolve. "

The twelve tracks reflect both Greene's DJ experience and the extended world tour with his 12-piece orchestral ensemble, which is why the album offers musical trips to all kinds of corners of the world.

The first single release 'Kerala' is soul-soft with a vocal sample from R'n'B singer Brandy. A, second single follows the epic-expressive 'No Reason' together with Nick Murphy (aka Chet Faker). Further support came from guests such as Michael Milosh (frontman of the band Rhye), Nicole Miglis from the indie electronics band Hundred Waters as well as from the Moroccan band Innov Gnawa from New York.

The changeability of the album reflects the identities of people and places on our planet that change and evolve over time and raise the question of the individual origin of each of us.
