ANIMAL MAGIC / Bonobo

Bonobo, also known as Simon Green, is a musician and producer from Brighton, England.


They debuted with a compilation album in 1999, followed by singles and EPs, and finally released their first album the following year.


And what I'd like to introduce to you today is Bonobo's first album, "ANIMAL MAGIC."


Bonobo has been nominated for the Grammy Awards multiple times as an artist and producer, and many people associate him with flashy dance music, but this ANIMAL MAGIC is not dance music, but rather "downtempo" music characterized by slow beats.


A relaxed beat and a melody that evokes a soft, comfortable morning.


The organic texture created by combining breakbeats with delicate yet dynamic nuances and acoustic instruments is full of euphoria.


Bonobo's first album and a downtempo masterpiece.


This is the perfect album for chill-out music on long autumn nights.
