Hidden Treasure / Bibio - Silver Wilkinson, 2013

I love a good electronic+folk mixture, and this is one of those precious examples of where it works in album form. Silver Wilkinson is an ideal spring-time album due to this, recalling fresh morning air, vegetation, grassy fields and other pleasant outdoor imagery very nicely. Bibio decorates the songs with a spacious reverb and emphasizes the most organic possible sounds. Nature FX, grainy sound quality and other details add to the effect.

Like a lot of my favorite guitarists, he also makes regular use of effects and layering to expand the instrument’s range. Some songs will come close, but all in all it’s far from your usual twangy ‘chill-out guitar' mush. His understated knack for synths adds further distinction, as in “Business Park” with it’s jagged techno drama or “Look At Orion”’s odd vortex of reverb and sampled voices.

While the album tends to shift in style at semi-random points, few songs lack that refreshing springy mood Bibio does best. With “Mirroring All”, I can almost feel that misty outdoor air through mere listening. I could say the same of Bibio’s own favorite “Dye The Water Green”, a haunting melody contrasted with some luxurious guitar shimmers. With the single “Curls” sounding a lot closer to this than his recent ambient/drone work, I have a good feeling about the incoming Ribbons album.

I just want to dissolve into a warped reel of celluloid film from the 1970s

"You Won't Remember" He sees you more than you could know In his chair at night, he can"t clear his mind Silence hurts, no-distractions-ache Then he gets the call and he drives for miles You won"t remember but he wanted you He"d like to tell you that he wanted you He sees you but you don"t see him In your bed at night, in your line of sight Silence sings and his ears will ring With that final bleep, he can"t fall to sleep You won"t remember but he wanted you He"d like to tell you that you"re haunting him.
