Bonobo's first album - 2000's Animal Magic - was released via Tru Thoughts before being picked up by Ninja Tune. It announced him as a serious talent; able to bring a musician's edge to electronic music, with all the freedom that skill allowed. His subsequent albums for Ninja, Dial 'M' for Monkey and Days to Come, developed his sensibility, won him fans across the globe, and saw him develop his live show into a mesmeric re-working of his records.
He has also worked hard as a DJ, a part of Green's arsenal that perhaps truly came into its own at the same time as 2010’s Black Sands. 2012 saw him take the uptempo, club re-edits of Black Sands from a seminal Boiler Room performance in London to dance floors across the world, and unveil a new light show that further enhanced the impact of these stunning songs. A remix album was released featuring reworkings by fans and peers such as Machinedrum, Floating Points, Mark Pritchard, Lapalux and FaltyDL.
Later the same year, he finally settled down in his New York studio to write his fifth album. The North Borders was another long stride forward - both a natural evolution and a continuation of the electronic palette of Black Sands. With vocal features from Erykah Badu, as well as Grey Reverend (The Cinematic Orchestra) and Cornelia (Portico Quartet) it's another finely balanced body of work.
Bonobo has a long history of unearthing new talent (Andreya Triana, Bajka) and The North Borders saw him do so once again. The vocals of new collaborator Szjerdene are sprinkled across the album.
Since the album’s release, Green has gone on to play over 175 shows across three continents and 30 countries, wowing audiences with the hypnotic, extended live versions of his songs. He performed sold out shows at The Sydney Opera House and Brixton Academy, and his very own, day long festival at London’s Roundhouse. 2014 saw him and his band play the iconic Coachella, Sonar, Glastonbury and many more. This period of extensive touring came to a breathtaking close with his largest show to date at London’s Alexandra Palace in November. In celebration, Ninja Tune released The North Borders Tour. — Live. in October. A deluxe release including a live album, hardback book and a DVD of seminal live performances from a truly memorable tour.
In January 2016, Bonobo announced on Twitter that he intended to release a new album sometime in 2016. Bonobo released his sixth album, Migration, on 13 January 2017 via Ninja Tune. It was announced on 3 November 2016 with the release of the single "Kerala", and an official video. The album features Nick Murphy (fka Chet Faker), Rhye, Innov Gnawa and Nicole Miglis (Hundred Waters).

Aun no puedo quitarme el sentimiento que esta cancion me provoca siempre...
En parte es algo hermoso, porque la cancion en si lo es, pero su forma de avanzar me transmite cierto miedo, panico, un sentimiento de desesperacion, como si contara una historia tragica con un final peor aun...
Una historia de una chica en un bosque, sola, confundida y asustada, que apenas podia ver ya que en este bosque aunque los arboles no eran muy grandes, no dejaban entrar un solo rayo de luz...
La unica luz provenia de un campo que se alcanzaba a ver en el horizonte, un cielo azul, despejado, con unas colinas verdes llenas de un hermoso cesped rodeado de un campo de flores
La chica en esta historia (que por cierto pense sin querer... no se como explicarlo, pero siento que la cancion me esta contando esta historia) quiere llegar a dicho campo de flores, quiere salir de la oscuridad de este bosque, pero por mas que avanzaba no podia acercarse a el, es como si el bosque fuese un lugar infinito, sin escape...
En el momento en que la cancion se empieza a acelerar, es cuando imagino a la chica totalmente aterrada, corriendo y preguntandose porque no puede alejarse de ese bosque aun cuando lleva horas corriendo hacia el campo de flores...
A la mitad de la cancion, en el momento en que se tranquiliza un poco la chica se cansa y se sienta a tomar un poco de aire, pero poco le duro la paz, porque encuentra algo... totalmente irreal
Justo en el momento en que la cancion se hace mas fuerte ( 3:32 ) la chica una vez mas corre, pero esta vez asustada por un ser extraño y sin una forma reconocible, no era un animal, ni una persona, no era nada que haya visto antes... era un ser deforme, robusto y del doble del tamaño de esta chica, con brazos delgados y manos grandes, deborando una persona...
La chica seguia corriendo de esa extraña criatura, esta vez sin detenerse siquiera para recuperar el aliento, pero era inutil... no podia escapar y mas cristuras extrañas y desconocidas seguian apareciendo, esta vez para cazar a la chica
Cuando esta chica no puede seguir corriendo, cae del puro cansancio, sus piernas ya no respondian y ya no tenia ni la fuerza ni la voluntad para seguir escapando de estas criaturas, se habia resignado a que la atrapen
"Tal vez si me matan ire a un lugar mejor" pensaba ella, cuando por fin estas criaturas empiezan a despedazar lenta y dolorosamente a esta chica...
Ella cria que pronto terminara el dolor, pero no ocurria asi... de alguna manera no moria, no se desmayaba ni eso, solo seguia viva, sufriendo el dolor de ser despedazada una y otra vez... no podia morir, su cuerpo se volvia a reconstruir poco a poco
En el final de la cancion cuando solo queda la guitarra y lo demas se calla la chica entiende que sucede, la razon por la que ya no moria era porque ya estaba muerta, ese bosque, lleno de muerte, sangre, desesperacion y dolor era el infierno, y el campo de flores que veia en un comienzo al cual queria llegar, era de hecho el paraiso... un lugar en el que esta chica de mi historia no pertenecia, ya que durante su vida hizo cosas malas y crueles, y su castigo en este bosque infernal por tales maldades, era sufrir por la eternidad ser despedazasa y maltratada, sin poder huir, solo sentirse inutil, ahogada en desesperacion y con un interminable sufrimiento...

This is the most beautiful, inspiring song I have ever heard. I discovered Bonobo by chance, and he has helped me through many a time of loneliness, anxiety, and sadness. There is nothing more therapeutic than feeling unhappy, to come home from a hard day and put on one of Bonobo's albums. Thank you for helping me to not die.

I had this exact kind of experience with this song. It was a time of great loneliness, sadness, and tribulation. Somehow I stumbled upon this song and it gave the inspiration I needed to see things through no matter what. It was a strange but amazing time in my life.
