Bibio, real name Stephen Wilkinson, is an British electronic producer who makes hip-hop inspired beats...but with a twist. He adds folk elements to his music. I was hesitant to listen to the project at first, but after one listen I was hooked. You know what the genre's called? Folktronica. Isn't that the most balla name for a genre ever? Sounds like something that would happen in Jay Electronica played the banjo.
I figured this is a GREAT introduction for a lot of you hip-hop heads out there who are hesitant to try out new genres. As a lover of all genres of music (I don't classify screamo or death metal as music tbh), this is a great gateway artist. I would've loved getting an introduction to this artist about 5-6 months ago. Don't let a great opportunity pass you up.
This is definitely one of my new favorite albums at the moment. All the songs on my Itunes have 5 stars. That ain't happen often. Peep the streams and most importantly, the download link.
