Bib10 (stylized as BIB10 in all caps) is the tenth studio album by English producer Bibio, also known as Stephen Wilkinson, released on 21 October 2022.[1]
In a 2020 interview with Stereogum, Bibio announced that he was working on new material that, in contrast with previous releases Ribbons and Sleep on the Wing, "right now, I'm making synthpop and disco, amongst other things. What I'm working on now is more like A Mineral Love, but it's early days still, so all of that could change."[2] According to Bibio, "I wanted this album to sound more polished and slick. But not 'software perfect'. My influences for studio production mostly come from the 60s, 70s, and 80s where the craft was very different – getting a more polished sound, without ironing the humanity out of it, was part of the ethos."[3] Bibio has called the album a reaction to the mostly acoustic Ribbons, saying that he wanted to start playing more electric guitar in order to do something different.[4] "S.O.L." and "Fools" feature the vocals of Oliver St. Louis, who previously collaborated with Bibio on the song "Why So Serious" from A Mineral Love.[5]
