...according to our Phil on 29 November 2006.

we'll swiftly move onto to Bibio on Mush. Which on the front has a sticker quoting some duffer from Boards of Canada pretty much saying this is ace. And that duffer not be wrong cos this is superb. Mellow folky inspired 70's sounding electronica with that disorientating effect in places I'm so fond of. The easiest comparison is that it's like the mellow ambient in between bits on the Boards of Canada albums. This is very very strong indeed and I'd heartily recommend investing in a copy.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Recommended to Mush by Marcus Eoin of Boards of Canada, the debut release from central England's Stephen Wilkinson (aka Bibio) is a triumph of saturation, distortion, and musical obscurity. Comprised of seventeen ambient songs built on samples of his own work rather than the work of others, fi is rich in musical imagery. Using manipulated live instrumentation, field recordings, and a strong portion of effects, Bibio's musical influences - the Incredible String Band, Joao Gilberto, My Bloody Valentine, Tortoise, and the producers of Warp Records - seep into his compositions. Bibio's debut is a revelation in the emotional power of lo-fi ambient compositions and clearly establishes him as a producer who has developed his own unique voice.
