MH-244 Bibio - Hand Cranked  Following the success of his debut album, fi, Wolverhampton, England's Stephen Wilkinson, aka Bibio, has assembled Hand Cranked, a fourteen track collection of idyllic found sound and lazy Sunday musical ramblings. The release maintains a stylistic bond with his debut, again focusing on his love for saturated guitars, warbling effects, and natural beauty, although this time with a slightly more whimsical feel. An increased confidence is also evident, both in the heightened virtuosity of Bibio's guitar playing and with his first appearance as a vocalist on the track, "Abberiw." With his first two albums, Bibio has established himself as an exciting new talent, and Mush is proud to provide him an outlet for his work. |

| Bibio - aka Black Country based musician and producer Stephen Wilkinson - takes his name from a fishing fly used by his dad. And his music is a quietly captivating assemblage of location cassette recordings and subtly shifting guitar and piano loops. While it does owe a clear debt to pastoral techno trailblazers Boards of Canada, highlights such as Quantock and Overgrown have a woozy bucolic charm all their own. - The Daily Telegraph |
