Bibio, the visionary English producer and Warp Records stalwart, dives deeper into the ethereal with Phantom Brickworks (LP II), a sequel to his hauntingly beautiful 2017 project and a stark contrast to the more structured Bib10 from 2022. This latest installment furthers Bibio’s ambient explorations, delving into the emotional resonance of spaces—how history, memory, and myth shape the atmospheres of places both real and imagined.
With a delicate interplay of improvised instrumentation, Bibio paints vivid sonic portraits of forgotten landscapes, decaying photographs, and whispered legends. His approach feels like a conversation with these spaces, letting his instruments guide him as much as he shapes their voices. Phantom Brickworks (LP II) is less an album and more a meditative journey—a collection of soundscapes that blur the line between nostalgia and discovery, where time feels suspended, and emotion becomes tangible.
