Description:

A new masterpiece where 25 years of history intersect with the future. Bonobo’s latest album, featuring Joy Crooks, Arooj Aftab, Nilfar Yan Ya, Nicole Miglis, Ichiko Aoba, and Anya Martin, is now available!! Simon Green, known as Bonobo, is a producer who has garnered support from a wide range of music fans across genres thanks to his overwhelming sound design, deep understanding of acoustic instruments, and dramatic songs that paint cinematic scenes. With his rare talent for seamlessly fusing acoustic instruments and electronic music at the highest level, he has remained at the forefront of the scene for over 25 years. Now, he releases *DistanceinStatic*—an album that can be considered the culmination of his career—via Ninja Tune. Throughout his career, he has reached No. 5 on the UK charts with two albums: 2017’s *Migration* and 2022’s *Fragments*. His total streaming plays have surpassed several billion, and he has produced numerous gold and silver-certified singles, while also earning high acclaim for collaborations with artists such as Erykah Badu and Damon Albarn. Furthermore, he has been nominated multiple times for the Brit Awards and the Grammy Awards. He has earned a total of seven Grammy nominations, five of which were in the Dance/Electronic category. This ties him with the Chemical Brothers, Skrillex, and Madonna for the most nominations in that category. On *DistanceinStatic*, he collaborated with a diverse array of artists from around the world, including Arooj Aftab, Joy Crooks, Nilfara Yangya, Ichiko Aoba, Nicole Miglis (Hundred Waters), and Anya Martin. In addition to lyrics in a variety of languages, the album weaves in samples of traditional Iranian music and the tones of the guzheng, creating a delicate and immersive soundscape unique to Bonobo. Recording took place across multiple cities, including Los Angeles, Tokyo, and London, with the majority of the work completed during an intensive, several-week retreat at Neil Young’s legendary studio, Broken Arrow Ranch, in early 2026. The title *Distance in Static* reflects the very current state of Bonobo—aka Simon Green. Distant signals faintly reaching through the noise, fragments of past memories and meanings—the trail he has carved out over more than 25 years at the forefront of electronic music resonates in this album as a faint reverberation. In recent years, as the younger generation has been rediscovering ’90s trip-hop, downtempo, and left-field electronic music with a fresh perspective, he has sensed the expanding reach of his influence. “What I pioneered has now become a point of reference for young people,” he says. And “I like the image of searching for a distant signal—as if trying to make out something amidst the noise,” he continues. Intimacy and grandeur, the known and the unknown. Floating in the space between them, *DistanceinStatic* portrays the sense of “transcendence” that Bonobo has pursued through his music more vividly than ever before. (1/3)
