Bibio: Mind Bokeh album stream

You can now stream Bibio‘s highly anticipated follow up to Ambivalence Avenue, Mind Bokeh. Stephen Wilkinson, aka Bibio, has been working hard ever since his first LP came out in 2005. Granted his sound has slowly been changing, fans have been able to follow his work without having to completely change genres. Some would describe this genre as indietronica, experimental, lofi, but it is quite difficult to label it as one thing.

Bibio explains the background of the name:

“Bokeh is the out of focus region of a photograph. It’s not a quantifiable thing, but photographers and lens manufacturers are obsessed with it. In Japanese it means “haze”, “blur”, or even “dementia”. I called the album Mind Bokeh because I’m interested in the effect of defocussing your mind, whether through meditation, chemicals or whatever – it’s a state of mind quite alien to Westerners.”

I got into his music via needing to listen to something that wouldn’t distract me from working, and this is perfect for that. Like a soundtrack to my day, it enhances whatever activity you are involved in without taking away your focus.

Mind Bokeh will available for sale in the US starting March 29th, and the stream will be available until April 19th, stream below and enjoy!
