Bibio - "You"

New TracksadminComment

A new track from the forthcoming Bibio album, Silver Wilkinson, which is gonna be released on Warp records later this year. On previous releases, the UK produced showed himself to be a jack of all trades when it comes to influences and musical emulation. On this latest track of his, "You," Bibio ventures out on a more hip hop-influenced endeavor with a punchy beat and methodically splattered soul samples. The track is seductive and detailed. Enjoy!

Though it is fun to see Bibio cover so much ground on this album--jumping from cowbell rock ballads to odd electronics without batting an eye--the songs behind the sounds aren't doing all that much for me. Not that this album isn't tuneful. In many respects it is. "Light Sleep" and "Take Off Your Shirt" are two examples. My issue is that the songs don't stand out that much to me. Bibio's abilities as a sonic chameleon are really what steal the show. But will only keep me entertained for so many listens.

It was a thrill at first, but this thing turned kinda gray kinda fast for me, sadly. Still, a track like "Excuses" is proof this guy can thrill me under the proper conditions.

I don't hate the album. I'm just kind of on the fence with it, sadly. Maybe Bibio's future output will do more for me.

I've been getting a lot of messages and comments directing my attention toward Bibio's fifth studio album, Mind Bokeh. We're looking at a March 29 release for this one via Warp Records.

"Excuses" is the first track to drop from the LP thus far, and I'm really liking what I'm hearing. The fragile, watery vocals glide nicely over all of the sonically rich layers of electronic tones and percussion. The song's ending groove is pretty awesome, too. Looking forward to this, for sure.
