Product Overview
Bibio - Sleep On The Wing (Vinyl) Sleep On The Wing is a new ten track EP from Bibio (aka Stephen Wilkinson), arriving around a year since last album 'Ribbons', which follows his usual modus operandi of following up an album with an EP that explores similar sonic territory, with influences ranging from traditional folk, peaceful atmospheric soundscapes and field recordings from the natural world. Stephen demonstrates the breadth of his musicality, embracing a wide range of self-played instruments including the strings which gave 'Ribbons' much of its flavour. Sleep On The Wing EP is a largely instrumental collection that exhibits deep atmospheric melodies as observations on rural escapism, reflection and melancholia. Recorded in BibioÙs home studio in the UK Midlands countryside, the writing process starts in a similar place to most of his previous works, growing from a guitar riff into a richly textured soundscape one instrument at a time.
