Bibio

returning to the ideas of its preceding 'ribbons' lp, this little ep features an exquisite selection of vivacious bliss-pieces, brought to life by pastoral flutes, strings and intricate guitarplay.

This release draws on a familiar range of influences from traditional folk, peaceful atmospheric soundscapes and field recordings from the natural world. Pieced together over the course of last year, with a few exceptions stretching back into Bibio’s older repertoire, this is a largely instrumental collection that exhibits deep atmospheric melodies as observations on rural escapism, reflection and melancholia. Recorded in Bibio’s home studio in the UK midlands countryside, the writing process grew from a guitar riff into a richly textured soundscape one instrument at a time. As on Ribbons, the surrounding nature seeps into the studio and underlies the essence of his music as it unfurls.
