UK-based multi-instrumentalist Bibio revisits ‘Phantom Brickworks‘ with the announcement of a sequel album in November via Warp Records.
Debuting in 2017, ‘Phantom Brickworks‘ caught our attention thanks to the hauntingly beautiful piano chords and reverb drenched pads, soundtracking a sepia tinged view of once busy places, now devoid of human activity. For those that have not experienced ‘Phantom Brickworks‘, it sounds like a dilapidated medley of Aphex Twin’s ‘Selected Ambient Works II’ and the ballroom ethos of The Caretaker.
Bibio now presents his sequel, a 10-track LP, mastered by Guy Davie and vinyl cut by Hendrik Pauler. “The new record draws attention to new sites – some are intriguing, vast scars on the natural landscape, others survive only in local memories, historic clips and photographs. A few remain submerged from ordinary sights, while some exist purely as legends and stories.”
‘Phantom Brickworks (LP II)’ is scheduled for release on 22 November via Warp Records. Order a vinyl copy from Inverted Audio Record Store.
