Previously he shared its first single “Curls,” as well as a trailer for the album and a video for “Curls.” Now he has shared another song from the album, “Old Graffiti,” which has a timeless feel (as if it’s a forgotten French or Brazilian pop song from the 1960s).

This week’s Songs of the Week was almost just a Top 8. However two fun, but seriously inessential, songs from the Lego Movie 2 soundtrack skated in at the bottom of the list. Veteran Scottish rockers Idlewild surprised us with an interesting new song, even though we admittedly haven’t paid much attention to their last few albums. More

Bibio (aka British electronic music producer Stephen Wilkinson) released a criminally under-heard album, A Mineral Love, last year. The delightful album blended indie pop with ambient electronic textures and featured guest vocals from Gotye, among others, but was generally ignored or underrated. More

Few artists are a musical chameleon in the way Stephen Wilkinson, aka Bibio, is. Throughout his career, the British musician has shifted his aural colorations to blend effortlessly into many different genres. More

Bibio may not be the biggest name on the Warp roster, but he certainly is one of the choice cuts in any assessment of the legendary label’s line-up. A Mineral Love, the artist’s third full-length installment, sees Bibio focus more on his own talent as a singer. More

By Billy Hamilton
Stephen Wilkinson appears to be mirroring Western trends by going organic. On his seventh LP under the Bibio guise, the English producer’s experimental leanings take on a distinctly naturalistic focus, veering away from the kaleidoscopic blur of 2011’s Mind Bokeh to create a slow-burning sonic collection.

Stephen Wilkinson aka Bibio ruled 2009 with three full-length releases. Vignetting the Compost came out in February on Mush and was more of Bibio’s Boards of Canada-without-the-beat pastiche that his fans have come to expect. He then put out his Warp Records debut, Ambivalence Avenue, in June, and branched out into more beat-oriented and vocal material to great effect. More
