Bibio
Maybe They Appear In Graveyards EP
(Warp)

Earlier this year, Bibio released the fantastic, hey this would probably sound wonderful in an offbeat forest-based horror movie that’s more bittersweet and nostalgic than frightening, ‘Ambivalence Avenue‘. To my knowledge, such a film doesn’t exist, unless someone with too much time on their hands has re-made Blair Witch Project with more campfire songs, the odd spook here and there for good measure and everything turned out okay in the end. If this ever happened for some reason I hoped they at least considered using Bibio for the soundtrack.

This EP continues in similar awesome and lovely vein and could well spark one into making one of these films. There is a definite darkness to the sonically lush electronic beats but this is all sucked up into and is enriched by the happy memories that songs like Lovers’ Carvings just arouse inside of you whilst listening. Ultimately, the small and mostly remix-based (not a bad thing, they’re all mighty boss) EP is a very pleasant offering towards those parties that tend to happen at the end of summer or on the campsites at festivals I wish I had gone to.
