I did something the other day that I rarely do, I went to pitchfork and looked at and listened to a some songs from the weeks new releases.  I stumbled on Bibio.   I’m kind of a visual person sometimes, and the album cover was lovely, it called to me.  I liked the sample song, went out and bought it.  Its really nice.  Boards of Canada seem to come to mind, but that might be because the reviewer planted that in my mind.  I find this to be a bit more dynamic than the Boards.  I recall almost falling to sleep to Boards of Canada when I would hold down the fort at Dandelion back in Champaign.  Bibio to me has this nice Prefuse 73 meets The Sea and Cake.   There are some lovely beats that nod the head laced into dreamscaped melody.  The only vocals that pop up are pretty.  Fire Ant, Sugerette, and Cry? Baby? are my cuts of choice.  That said, check out Jeolous of Roses as well, kinda Suggie Otis soul funk.
