Bibio – Jealous of Roses
I can’t get over how much Bibio has changed. It has only been a few months since his last release, Vignetting the Compost, which was in keeping with his other albums since 2004’s Fi: a nostalgic blend of folk and electronica that amounted to an acoustic Boards of Canada. While there are still moments like that on Ambivalence Avenue, the album is varied enough to include hip-hop beats and 8-bit samples. This track, Jealous of Roses (video below), resembles Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti more than it does the Bibio of old, but it’s a great record nonetheless and is likely to thrust him closer to the mainstream.
Ambivalence Avenue is out now on Warp.
