Overview
This is one of the most sophisticated collections of electronic songs around. Bonobo doesn’t seem to miss with his soulful, stylish, and somewhat suave tunes here. Some might criticise his lack of experimentalism on this album, but put that aside and just appreciate the genius Bonobo brings to his music - each track almost boasts a different style of electronic music, leaving most listeners wanting more. This is a great late-night listen, and I think Bonobo is at his best here.
Recommended for people looking to zone in on a stylistic electronic sonic journey.

Album Artwork Rating
8.5/10
’The North Borders'‘ serene-looking cover captures the introspective mood of the album’s music. An almost ethereal body of water exudes a cool and relaxed feeling, creating a sense of solitude and reflection. It's ambient, atmospheric, and completely complements the subtle complexity of the music.
