Saint ChristopherTaking his name from a fly his father used on fishing trips inhis childhood, Stephen Wilkinson, aka Bibio has movedswiftly up through the gears, from his 2005 debut Fi, in whichhe combined acoustic guitar and tape loops, home and fieldrecordings to create a wistful masterpiece that was at onceorganic and processed. “A lot of those things are still in mywork now but I'm looking to move away from that,” says Bibio.“I don't simply want to be repeating myself.”And so, since Ambivalence Avenue, his debut for Warp, he'sgathered together all the disparate strands of his myriadphases and influences to create a concentrate that works asfull-on, neon-lit pop. And not drearioso, everyday, autotunepop but champagne cork pop – a jolting, immediate, highlypleasant surprise from out of the blue.voices music & entertainment asVoices Music & Entertainment AS I Ulvenveien 88 D I 0581 Oslo I NORWAY I Tel: +47 23 22 66 66 I Fax: +47 23 22 66 67 I www.vme.no
