Mar 27, 2013The North Borders is a triumph--each listen is a revelation; seemingly it’s a breadth of work that marks a new, exciting era of electronic music.
-
Apr 8, 2013As distinctive as it is complex, is as much about the journey as its component pieces, commanding all the familiar electronic music components with ease, but infused with the warmth of soul and a kind of cross-continental sophistication.
-
Apr 10, 2013It might be dismissed as dinner party music by those with a hunger for more experimental fare, but The North Borders is charming, fascinating and a touch mysterious.
-
Mar 27, 2013The North Borders introduces a host of vocalists to accompany solid arrangements.
-
Apr 5, 2013Whilst The North Borders is hardly a stylistic leap of faith into the unknown there’s definitely a more confident and varied use of textures and instrumentation than on Black Sands, and it marks a new, very much worthwhile chapter in Bonobo’s continuing story.
-
Apr 1, 2013The North Borders now finds Green secure enough in his craft to command the talents of his guest vocalists and create emotional harmonics.
-
Apr 1, 2013By no means is The North Borders sterile, but there isn’t a notably invigorating spark either--at least not of an obtuse or intense gesture.
