Bibio just continues to churn out quality in what has become his breakout year. Two albums and now two EP's, this one with new tracks and so many remixes it's basically another full length. The new tracks start the show, and are fantastic. The title track perfects the folk-hop template while maintaining an energy most tracks in this style can't compete with. It bleeds directly into "Rotten Rudd", which slows things down before becoming an athemic sing-a-long. "Steal The Lamp" retreats from a Jaga Jazzist style opening into a Squarepusher style DNB freakout at the end, showing Bibio still has more sounds he's willing to tackle. On the remixes side, highlights are Lone's effort, which throws the original sounds into a blender halfway in to create a smoothed out hip-hop groove. Leatherette's cut-up, pitchshifted version of "LOver's Carvings" takes some getting used to, but its lounge feel is too cool to be denied. Another highlight is Bibio's own rework of "Palm Of Your Wave", which takes the original tune to new heights. Another excellent release.
