British producer and musician Stephen Wilkinson aka Bibio<\/a> has announced the release of his seventh album fittingly titled Silver Wilkinson<\/em>. The effort draws inspiration from organic environments, particularly his own garden. Silver Wilkinson<\/em> will hit stores on May 13th in Europe and a day later in North America via Warp<\/a>. Ahead of it, Bibio dropped the first bright and gorgeous single, ‘\u00c0 tout \u00e0 l’heure’. Bibio explains how the song came about:<\/p>\n “The recording of\u00a0 ‘\u00c0 tout \u00e0 l’heure’ started out in my garden on a gorgeous sunny day when it felt morally wrong to be hidden away indoors. I still had the urge to make music so I limited myself to a few bits of gear and set up in my garden: a 12 string guitar, an MPC sampler, a microphone and a cassette recorder. I drummed on objects in the garden, like a plastic watering can and ‘snipped’ garden shears for percussion parts. The guitar part was something I had been developing over some time in my head but it was this change of environment that led to recording the backbone of this song, which I then continued to build upon in my studio later. When I listen to the intro of that track now, I still hear the sunshine and the garden in it because for me it’s like a photograph of that moment. No doubt the sunny outdoors inspired the lyrics too.”<\/p>\n Listen to ‘\u00c0 tout \u00e0 l’heure’ beneath and grab it free here<\/a>, in exchange for an email.<\/p>\n
\n“If there was a preconceived idea before this album started coming together, it was a fairly vague one: to focus more on an organic and live sound and to record more guitar and other live instrumentation”, said Bibio in a handwritten statement about his forthcoming album. “I like the idea of comparing albums to seasons – they stand alone yet are part of a bigger story. They complement each other. So this album, to an extent, started out with the desire for a new ‘season’, contrasting somewhat with the previous.”<\/p>\n
