Bibio, a one-man machine of conceptual sampling is supposedly set to release a full length LP this March. Listen to it.
While his videos (down below) are often dream-like, there is something noteworthy about the way that Bibio creates. For instance, Bibio's song Ambivalence Avenue starts out with a brush of sea air working its way through your speakers. It's less about the fact that Bibio sampled a sound that you've probably heard on the beach for this track and more about what that sound makes you feel like. However, what makes this track hauntological to me is the way the whole works together. The samples draw you in deep while the organic guitar and percussion remind you (me) of kicking it on the street corner with a random bucket drummer. It's fresh, it's old, it's sampled, it's original, it's Bibio.
