I love this song. I've been listening to Bonobo for a while now and I love his music. This song is "Black Sands" (from the album Black Sands). As far as the feel of the music is concerned, the album cover really does it justice; it's somewhat melancholic at first but as the song progresses it feels more pensive and thoughtful.
I envision someone walking through the cityscape of New York, or Chicago, or maybe London, in a soft rainy haze on a dark, overcast day. I see this person walking around aimlessly with no immediate obligations thinking about life and where he, and all of us fit in it. Perhaps that was the mood the artist was in when constructing this album.
Sorry for the melodramatic description. I let myself get carried away with envisioning the scenery within which music is constructed.
I love studying to this album, with it's smooth, melodic tones. The fact that he named himself after a cousin of the chimp throws you off a bit, but don't let that fool you, give it a listen and see what I mean..
