Dial 'M' for Monkey by Bonobo

Dial 'M' for Monkey

Bonobo
2003 · Brighton, UK
Downtempo

Bonobo layers live instrumentation over programmed beats, upright bass and strings woven into breakbeats that never sit still for long. The arrangements shift constantly, moving from jazzy interludes to heavier, bass-driven stretches without losing the thread. Percussion stays busy throughout, giving the record a restless, exploratory feel. It rewards attention more than background listening.
