This 2017 release from Bibio eschews the dancefloor for the late-night studio, presenting a collection of ambient electronic sketches that feel both intimate and expansive. It is a deep dive into textural sound design, a stark contrast to the more song-oriented material that preceded it.
- The album was released on November 3, 2017, by Warp Records.
- "Phantom Brickworks" features Bibio's signature blend of ambient textures and synthesized melodies.
- The album was recorded and produced by Bibio himself at his home studio.
Bibio is the electronic music project of Stephen Wilkinson, from UK. He is best known for his eclectic blend of sample-based dance music, folk, and ambient styles. His career began in the early 2000s, releasing music on labels like Rephlex and Planet Mu before moving to Warp. "Phantom Brickworks" was released late in his career, after a prolific period of experimentation with disco and house sounds on previous Warp albums like "A Mineral Love" and "Feel What You Want."
