Bibio ‎– Vignetting The Compost

VIGNETTING THE COMPOST kicks off with what might be the best track of Bibio's career, "Flesh Rots, Pip Sown," a bucolic piece that's as pure as a summer day. Of course, there's plenty of sweet-sounding folk elsewhere, such as the echo-y "Great are the Piths" or "The Ephermeral Bluebell." Bibio also fills the album with scenic moments, like sound paintings: the gentle seaside of "Under the Pier" or the ambient fragment "Torn Under the Window Light." But it's the tracks that combine both of these that really pop, like the dreamy "Amongst the Bark and Fungus" or the string-laden "Thatched."
