Ever since Stephen Wilkinson released Ambivalence Avenue, his modus operandi as Bibio has been variety. His albums combine British folk, Dilla-esque beatscapes, and hazy ambience, all with a sprightly spark that is Wilkinson's signature. There's no telling what his new album, A Mineral Love, will bring when it arrives on April 1 via Warp. So far we've heard his folkier side on "Petals," and his funkier side on "Feeling." Now there's a third single to sink your teeth into, "Town & Country," and it's a carefree, pastoral pop tune in the vein of "À tout à l'heure" or "K is for Kelson." Whatever the rest of the album ends up sounding like, we know we're in good hands. Listen to "Town & Country" below.

I received my degree in English from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, and Virginia is still home. Apart from my yearly pilgrimage to Moogfest and occasional shows in DC, Detroit, and New York, I like to stick to the fringes, with an eye always open toward music that is forward-thinking and unique, whatever the genre.
