Bonobo migrates to new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 4 November 2016
Bonobo, aka producer Simon Green, has announced that his sixth album, ‘Migration’, will be released on 13 Jan. The record features guest appearances from Rhye’s Michael Milosh, Nick Murphy (formerly known at Chet Faker), Nicole Miglis from Hundred Waters, and Moroccan band Innov Gnawa.
As the titled suggests, the theme of migration runs throughout the album. Or more specifically, “the study of people and spaces”, says Green
“It’s interesting how one person will take an influence from one part of the world and move with that influence and affect another part of the world”, he continues. “Over time, the identities of places evolve”.
Having himself moved from the UK to California, Green adds: “My own personal idea of identity has played into this record and the theme of migration. Is home where you are or where you are from, when you move around?”
The announcement of the album also comes with tour dates, with shows in the UK and Ireland in February and March. Tickets go on sale on Monday. Here are those dates:
25 Feb: London, Brixton Academy
27 Feb: Dublin, Vicar Street
1 Mar: Leeds, Academy
2 Mar: Manchester, Apollo
3 Mar: Gateshead, Sage
4 Mar: Bexhill, De La Warr Pavilion
