HAVING just played to a sold-out Edinburgh Picture House, Glaswegian fans of Bonobo will be already be counting down the days to his performance at ABC in October. With fifth studio album, ‘The North Borders’ receiving critical acclaim across the board, it’s unsurprising to find the hype already at boiling point, as his new live show accentuates all that is special about his spellbinding productions.
Enlisting a ten-piece band to replicate the sweeping beauty of the album’s hypnotic soundscapes and soothing melody, this is undoubtedly the ultimate realisation of Simon Green’s creative vision. As detailed in Thomas Brent’s review of his recent show in Edinburgh, songs like ‘Pieces’ and ‘Heaven For A Sinner’ are enriched by some exceptional vocalists, making the whole experience deeply engaging from start to finish.
Tenement TV recorded the interview for Synth Glasgow. Check the full conversation below in which Synth talk influences, production values and bringing ‘The North Borders’ alive on stage:
