Bonobo The North Borders zippyshare9/17/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() "Emkay," with its shades of MJ Cole, has probably the toughest beat here, and while "Don't Wait"'s is nominally housey, its pace and twinkling melodies make it seem more like a torchlit procession. Some of the artists Green enlisted for 2012's Black Sands Remixed showed his affiliation with London's bass scene, and sure enough, fractured two-step rhythms and downbeat melodies are a hallmark here. The North Borders also sounds quite English in a more modern sense. In many ways it projected an old-fashioned English sophistication that, like Fiennes, was a hit across the Atlantic, where he relocated to record this follow-up. Si Green's third full-length also had a similar brooding intensity, where deep emotion came through in subtle string arrangements that were the musical equivalent of a trembling lip. If Bonobo's 2010 album Black Sands were an actor, it would have been Ralph Fiennes-it was suave, refined and pretty posh compared to his cheekier sample-based albums. ![]()
