Reviews & Discussion
With AMBIVALENCE AVENUE, Bibio makes the move to Warp, with a slight change in sound. There's much more of a percussive element on the title track, and... is that funk I hear on "Jealous of Roses"? Has he been collaborating with Jamie Lidell? Did Scott Herren fist bump him for "Fire Ant" and "Sugarette"? Fear not, though, the lo-fi folk loops still persist: he sings and strums his way through "All the Flowers" and "Haikuesque (When She Laughs)." But overall, there's a disconnect between his 'old' style and the newer ones. "S'vive" goes pure crazy, which is then followed by the delicate "The Palm of Your Wave." Thankfully, "Lovers' Carvings" bridges that, starting with the sunny sweetness one can expect of Bibio before swinging into a soft pop tune. The final track, "Dwrcan," moves into abstraction. A definite change for Bibio, one that needs to be smoothed out a bit, perhaps.
