The singers are superb. Simon Green's eighth album could afford to be a little less sure of what happens between them

Alternating between club tracks and downtempo songs, mostly featuring guests, Distance in Static is a well-paced journey that expertly plays with tension and release

It's all so smooth that you rarely get a sense of who he is. Print edition only

For all its multi-locale sessions and noble attempts at breaking down categorisation, Distance in Static just never ventures anywhere too thrilling Bonobo’s worldly electronica flex would try to convince otherwise

On what he has hinted may be his final “traditional” LP as Bonobo, the UK producer cycles through moods and styles, with a particular focus on the clubby soundscapes of his DJ era

Simon Green's eighth album as Bonobo feels like a celebration - few blend club-adjacent electronica with warm-hearted downtempo quite as adroitly as he does here. Print edition only

By turns studiedly moody and urgently intense, Simon Green's global outlook is at once reassuring and thought provoking

Lush, immersive, and deeply physical, this is his best in a decade
