Bonobo – Black Sands (Video & Download)

Bonobo (a.k.a. Simon Green), producer and DJ, released his debut album Animal Magic (2001, Tru Thoughts), in the category of trip-hop and quickly garnered the title of “new downtempo pioneer.”  Since then he has released Dial M for Monkey (2003, Ninja Tune) and Days to Come (2006, Ninja Tune) receiving a lot of attention from labels and critics alike.  Now with his latest release, and a ton of notoriety attached to his name, is Black Sands. Bonobo brings elements of jazz, hip hop, and electronica into his works, creating these chilled medleys of music which fall softly like fresh, fluffy snow. The instrumentals are full, where each composition unfolds like a crescendo of emotion. His music has appeared in many popular TV shows such as Lost, Californication, The L Word, and CSI, to name a few.

Last month, we mentioned Bonobo currently working with Andreya Triana on her solo album, which is scheduled to release this spring; definitely something to be on the look out for. Below is the new video for “Eyesdown” from Black Sands, featuring the dreamy vocals of Andreya Triana. Black Sands hits stores March 29th, and pre-orders will receive a limited edition 5-inch blue vinyl record containing the track “Kiara.” Check out the video below, a couple of cuts off the album, and go to Bonobo’s website for a free download of “Eyesdown” (Warrior One Remix). Enjoy!
