about

September 6, 2022 - Five-time GRAMMY-nominated musician/producer/DJ Bonobo has shared “ATK,” his first single since the release of his new album Fragments (Ninja Tune) in January. The single is out today on his label OUTLIER in partnership with Ninja Tune and was featured on Apple Music’s New Music Daily this morning.

“ATK” was made around the same time as Fragments. Initially a DJ edit of Atakora Manu’s ‘Dada,’ it became something fuller and a track of its own. I felt it was a little too bashy to fit on the album and wanted to save it as an OUTLIER release to be aimed more at the dance floor,” says Bonobo aka Simon Green. Manu was an influential Ghanaian Highlife guitarist, composer, and studio engineer that formed the legendary Kakaiku No. 2 Band with Moses Kweku Oppong in the late ‘60s.

“ATK” arrives with a video directed by the McGloughlin Brothers (A$AP Rocky, Max Cooper) that takes the viewer on a train ride through multiple textures, landscapes and shapes of all different scale. The video showcases glimpses of graffiti, colorful windows and walls, Portuguese tiles and train stations across the world that mimic the fast-paced beat of the track.

“We wanted to create a minimal film embodying ideas of serendipity and perception, allowing the world to reveal itself in unusual ways spontaneously. If you have ever looked out of a train window to see the wires and tiles weave and dance in a magical way, this, in essence, is what we wanted to capture in our film. Our own living ‘zoetrope’.” -McGloughlin Brothers
