Overview
This is a masterclass album that utilises a unique blend of organic instrumentation and electronic genius. It truly showcases Bonobo's talent for creating almost cinematic soundscapes and filling the album with songs rich in intricate layering - everything ties together with complete emotional depth that draws listeners in. Like most of Bonobo’s work, every track flows almost perfectly from the one before it, and the effortless shifting between downtempo grooves and jazz-influenced electronic beats creates a listening experience that is both interesting and completely impressive. This album is not to be missed.

Recommended for those looking for adventure through a lush and intricate listening experience.

Album Artwork Rating
8.5/10

It's an almost cinematic image that shows the balance between organic and electronic elements - something that completely matches the theme of the album. Its colour palette is soothing and relaxing, and you could almost envision being surrounded by this landscape after listening to the album, even without having seen the album artwork beforehand.
