Wolverhampton, England is a a sister city to my hometown Buffalo, NY; both of which prospered economically during the Industrial Revolution. Maybe this is the reason why I felt instantly connected with Stephen James Wilkinson's outfit, Bibio. Released in 2004, "FI" is a journey to your past...beautiful folk layered guitar resting on ambient samples and warm field recordings. Sometimes I forget that I'm not actually listening to this on tape because Bibio does a fantastic job with the analog production, capturing the warmth and nostalgic feeling this release brings to the listener.
