Bibio - Ambivalence Avenue

ARTIST: Bibio
ALBUM: Ambivalence Avenue
GENRE: Psychedelic-Folk/Hip-Hop/Electronic
YEAR: 2009

"Bibio? What a stupid name!" you might think to yourself. But don't let his fly-fishing based name fool you, his music is far from stupid. Ambivalence Avenue is a great mix of electronic production, including hallucination inducing psychedlic folk guitar chord progressions, soft reverberated chorused vocals and hard electronic beats to top it all off. If you're a fan of Flying Lotus, Aphex Twin, or really any abstract or ambient electronic music, definitely give this album a listen. I feel the variety of music is what makes this album. From the upbeat psyche-folk opening of the first track "Ambivalence Avenue" to the emphasized percussion and trippy melodies of the last track "Dwrcan", your ears will experience an orgasmic journey through worlds imagined by King Bibio, creator of all things trippy and awe-inspiring. One thing I enjoy about this album is that a lot of the tracks have a great "bounce" to them, and will surely make you bob your head. I've got to say, this is quite possibly one of my favorite albums in recent years, and I just cannot stop listening. It's been a while since a CD has taken complete control of my playlist. Stereo headset with awesome bass recommended for best listening experience.
