dude has a pretty solid lineup spanning a wide spread of genres, all executed flawlessly, and he writes, records, produces, and mixes everything
Silver Wilkinson (2013): spacious, almost ambient guitar ballads, all washed with reverb and decorated with field recordings.
fav songs: Raincoat, You Won’t Remember…, Dye The Water Green, a tout a l’heure
A Mineral Love (2016): a few songs are in a similar vein as the last album, this time a bit crisper and with the addition of some electronic elements. some moments are more funk/soul inspired. love the drum machines and clavs.
fav songs: Town & Country, Feeling, Petals, Raxeira, C’est La Vie
Phantom Brickworks (2017): the biggest switchup, a loop based ambient album interspersed with field recordings and samples, reminiscent of William Basinski, a concept album on the dilapidated ruins of the early industrial era that litter the Welsh countryside. also has a companion EP of Phantom Brickworks IV-V
fav songs: Capel Bethania, Phantom Brickworks I-III
Ribbons (2019): Bibio takes his usual guitar balladry but with a Welsh folk twist, all the songs are full of nature imagery. dude busts out the mandolin and fiddle on a few tracks
fav songs: Curls, Beret Girl, Ode to a Nuthatch, Valley Wulf, Old Graffiti
Sleep on the Wing (2020): FULL WELSH FOLK MODE. perfect morning music, lovely melodies and lush arrangements. dude plays all the parts too.
fav songs: Oakmoss, Sleep on the Wing, Watching Thus the Heron is all Pool, Awpockes
BIB10 (2022): his 10th album, more of a 80s pop vibe, sounds kinda like Prince. a lot synthier and groovier
fav songs: Even More Excuses, Rain and Shine, S.O.L, Fools, Cinnamon Cinematic
Sunbursting (2023): YACHT ROCK. steely dan vibes on this.
fav songs: Sorry Won’t Cut It, A Matter of Fact, All of the Above, Sunbursting

All killer no filler. Quintessential 90’s stoner rock/shoe-gaze.
All songs are epic, melancholic rippers that leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside, with a single acoustic track that serves as a sentimental intermission from the heartfelt head-banging.
My favorites off the album are “Why I Like The Robins“ and “Stars“
