Black Sands

I have to say when I heard Bonobo had a new record I wasn't too excited. I used to love Ninja Tune and anything that was put out by Bonobo was amazing. Take Flutter below - for me this is simply a great track that transports you off to Summer in a flash:


I was really disappointed with a Bonobo gig a couple of years ago and I had pretty much forgotten about them until now... Black Sands is a stunning album in digital single's track world where the value of albums doesn't seem to be important anymore. Its combines Brazilian beats, bosa nova bass-lines and dream like vocals to create a record that will lift your mood in an instant and remove you from that mundane bus journey home.

I haven't been as impressed on the first listen of an album for a while & ok it might not be everyones cup of Darjeeling but by god it deserves some attention. The full album minimix is below for a listen and download:
