Bib10

"Bibio's Stephen Wilkinson loves changing gears from album to album, so it's a good thing he's extremely skilled at it. Taking his leave from the pastoral acoustic beauty of Ribbons and its companion EP Sleep on the Wing, on Bib10 he translates his brilliance at creating soundworlds through the lens of pop, rock, and R&B production and songwriting from the '70s and '80s ... Wilkinson grounds Bib10's adventurous sounds not just in their guitar foundations, but in solid songwriting. Aside from the ambient masterpiece Phantom Brickworks, all of Bibio's Warp albums have sprinkled flawless pop songs among the impressive productions and arrangements. This time, there's a deluge of them ... Bib10 is an immensely satisfying listening experience - and an exquisitely crafted celebration of the beauty and possibilities within Wilkinson's music".
