Days to Come

This is the one where Bonobo stopped sounding like a beatmaker and started sounding like a bandleader. Strings, upright bass, live drums stacked next to samples until you can't tell where one ends. Fleet Foxes-adjacent vocal turns on a couple tracks soften it, maybe too much, but 'Ketto' alone justifies the whole run — that string loop is the reason people still spin this out.
