:: Terrific record. Growing on every listen!
The stunning Dye the Water Green is my favourite track off of the upcoming new album by British electronic/experimental music producer Stephen James Wilkinson, more famously known under is moniker Bibio. The new record – already his seventh full-length offering – is entitled ‘Silver Wilksinson’. It was released in Australia on May 10, 2013 via Warp Records. North American release follows on May 14. The album is recorded and produced by Bibio himself – mostly in his own studio – and he also created the artwork for the record. On the label website, Bibio explains that he sometimes takes things outside while working on new music because the change of environment acts refreshing on the creative process. The recording of the album track À tout à l’heure for example started out in Bibio’s garden on a sunny day, and i think this shows. You can download the song for free here by entering your email, listen to it below.
On his Facebook page, Bibio released a handwritten note about the creation of ‘Silver Wilkinson’, in which he also writes about my album favourite: “With the song ‘Dye The Water Green’ (my personal favourite off the album) I remember going into my brick-wall shed in the garden for a change of scenery and to capture the sound of rain on the tin roof, I remember recording additional musical ideas around a guitar riff I had previously come up with, capturing them to an old ghetto blaster. I remember feeling at the time that I wouldn’t have come up with the same things if I was in my studio. I think putting yourself in different environments affects how you feel and act and essentially can lead to more variety.” Read the full note here, and check out below the current first single You.
