A stunning record.
Bonobo, AKA Simon Green, returns with his new album Distance in Static, pressed exclusively to Red, orange and yellow smash with black splatter LP’s, limited to 2,000 and hand-numbered. 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, Nilüfer 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 Green’s 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 Young’s legendary Broken Arrow Ranch in California.
It’s a record that represents the culmination of over 25 years as an artist and DJ. A reminder, if ever one was needed, of Bonobo’s 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.
The album’s visual world, created alongside celebrated designer Trevor Jackson, reflects this shift too. Moving away from the landscape-inspired aesthetics of earlier Bonobo records, Distance in Static instead draws on microscopic photography by renowned photomicrographer John I. Koivula, creating crystalline alien worlds that feel simultaneously natural and otherworldly. Those themes will also run through the brand new live show, designed in collaboration with Pierre Claude – renowned for his work with Air, Gesaffelstein, Phoenix, and Caroline Polachek – to deliver another evolution in the Bonobo live experience.
Out 11th September 2026.
All records will be well packaged and sent the day I receive them, recorded and insured.
