Where to Start with Bonobo

With a career spanning over 20 years, 8 albums, and 150+ songs (including remixes, reworks and reissues), the question of where to start with Bonobo might seem like a bit of a daunting one to approach. The purpose of this list is to give you a primer, to get yourself familiarised with what’s available so you have a foundation to go and explore the rest of the 100+ songs I didn’t include.

Keeping a level head in the face of potential rejection. Oooh what a thorny topic this will be!

Peaceful Moments

The idea of having something beautiful and profoundly yours ripped away from you is probably the one thing that terrifies anyone in my position more than anything else.

This is a bit of a mess of a piece. Think of it as a stream of consciousness, an examination of the pieces of thoughts that lie scattered about the ol’ mindscape.

Safe Harbour

I think we all like feeling like we have a sanctuary that we can safely say is ‘ours’, a secure base from which we can derive a sense of consistency and control in spite of all the other uncertainty the world can and will offer us.
