Bonobo shares music video for new single ‘Shadows’

Latest offering from the massive Bonobo album

Bonobo aka Simon Green) has released the music video for ‘Shadows,’ one of the lead singles from his just-released album ‘Fragments’, out on Ninja Tune. 

The song features London singer-songwriter Jordan Rakei, and is described by Green as “old school, Detroity, Moodymann and Theo Parrish-inspired.” 

The music video was directed by BWTV, who said of the video: “Shadows are reflections of ourselves, our movements, whims, wants and urges. Like memories happening in the present; like scars that leave no mark. They are a creeping measure of passing moments: alive, immediate and fleeting. They stretch and bend to the world around them and they thicken and fade as the days roll on. We wanted to make a video that meditates on these ideas; using found captured and created material to investigate the patterns and visual metaphors that emerge as we experimented with the footage. Using the emotional language of the shadow we began to build sequences and patterns reminiscent of how one might compose a multitrack piece of music. Layers, lots of layers.”

‘Fragments’, the album, is Bonobo’s latest addition to his now wide-ranging discography of slow-building progressive house and electronica. It also features Jamila Woods, Joji, Kadhja Bonet, O’Flynn, and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson.  

As well as the new video, Bonobo has announced a 40+ date, full-band international tour, which includes four dates at The Royal Albert Hall in London. For more details and information, visit: https://bonobomusic.com
