Black Sands

Description

SIMON GREEN aka BONOBO returns with a highly anticipated fourth album and the most accomplished to date, the magnificent Black Sands. Once again, GREEN proves that he is an ambitious artist and producer, capable of mastering any style. SIMON GREEN explores the jazz/hip hop/funk/soul scene with ROB LUIS. A skilled musician, he produces his own songs. Animal Magic, his very first self-produced album from start to finish, is released the following year. Acclaimed as one of the "new pioneers of downtempo," GREEN then signs with Ninja Tune. Dial M For Monkey is released in 2003. Days To Come follows in 2006 and is voted album of the year by GILLES PETERSON. This is the turning point, and thanks to this award, he meets ADREYA TRIANA, whose early recordings he will produce and who brings an essential contribution to Black Sands. It is the double vocal that BONOBO has always sought. In recent years, BONOBO has become one of the spearheads of the Ninja Tune label. The combination of his superb live performances and his genius in the studio makes him a unique artist, and Black Sands is proof of that. This album, composed and arranged as usual by SIMON GREEN himself (he plays most of the instruments), is a masterpiece of technical mastery and musical inspiration. The Key - a superb first single from Black Sands - is currently dominating the airwaves. BONOBO and ADREYA TRIANA are now walking the golden paths of success...
