Bonobo - The North Borders

Following the breakthrough success of Black Sands, producer and composer Simon Green (aka Bonobo) returned in 2013 with The North Borders — a bold step forward that expanded his vision while deepening the emotional and sonic threads of his previous work.

The album is a seamless blend of organic instrumentation and finely detailed electronic production, moving fluidly between immersive atmospheres and rhythm-driven tracks. The result is a body of work that feels thematic, resonant, and meticulously crafted — a coherent statement that pushes Bonobo’s sound into new territory without losing the warmth and intimacy at its core.

With The North Borders, Bonobo not only built on the legacy of Black Sands but also cemented his reputation as one of electronic music’s most innovative and emotionally powerful artists.
