Electronic music luminary Bonobo (offstage name: Simon Green) performed at Union Transfer in Philadelphia last Thursday night, drawing heavily on his recent fifth album, The North Borders. Nine of the album’s thirteen songs were performed with a stunning backing band, with back-catalog trips taken to showcase 2010’s Black Sands (“Stay The Same,” “Kiara”) 2006’s Days to Come (“Nightlite”) and more.
