Bonobo reveal <em>The North Border</em> details; Erykah Badu to feature

More details about the forthcoming fifth album from lush Ninja Tune producer Bonobo. 

As per 2010’s Black Sand, The North Borders will see Simon Green recruit a host of guest vocalists, including one very big star indeed. Erykah Badu, heard gracing albums by Flying Lotus and Wu-Block in the last 12 months, contributes vocals to ‘Heaven For The Sinner’; the result is apparently “a transcendental, incanted vocal masterclass married to a brilliant two-step glitch and a yearning melody.”

Swedish singer and DVA collaborator Cornelia will appear, as will NYC folk singer Grey Reverend and Ninja Tune signing Szjerdene. The full tracklisting has also been confirmed, and is available to peruse below.

The North Borders is out on April 1 on Ninja Tune. Chiming lead track ‘Cirrus’ is below, as are Bonobo’s upcoming tour dates. Badu was recently cannibalised by Seattle duo TheeSatisfaction on the free THEESatisfaction Loves Erykah Badu EP.
