this album is going to be the opposite of a summer album for me so there we go. awesome record.

(i mean if opposite means constant rainy drizzle here, which it so does)

Hey man, I would have been willing to meet you halfway. Maybe there's something fun at the northern part of Florida? ...maybe?

I'll try to give some feedback here:

The family house was for a few weeks just my dog and I and the only thing to worry about was getting to work and getting a tan.

The first part of this feels just a tad awkward, probably because of weird structure.

The heat was a furnace where the colors seemed at once sharper and more muted, saturated brilliantly by the humidity yet deadened in that thick, stillborn haze.

That's it, I quit.
In all seriousness, though, great sentence. Is "stillborn" really the right word, though?

I was in love, whether with the girl or the idea of it I never really figured out until much later, after it spoiled, but that summer was something special and deathless.

As a teenager myself I have that dilemma quite a bit, spot-on. I'd take out the comma after "later," though (maybe? in retrospect I'm not sure if that's a good idea, but it just makes it feel a tad run-on-y.)

The second half of that first paragraph is incredible. I wish I could write that well. It's beautiful but doesn't have any of the bullshit imagery that most things like it have, and I love it.

Silver Wilkinson and Bibio in general is less about genre spotting and more about the vibe, which is a corny way of saying listen to the goddamn tunes.

Love the total lack of bullshit here.

It’s a little bit Simon & Garfunkel and a little bit Boards of Canada, that eclecticism apparent in his influences and the song structures, which meander about on tendrils of glitchy keyboards and pastoral guitar, usually before returning to the sparse ambient beauty at the heart of all his work

This sentence meanders just a bit too much, I'd rein it in a little.

Holy shit that last paragraph. So damn well written

I agree, the reworking of that sentence is definitely better

Wow, what an evocative review. Haven't heard or listened to this artist, but your review made me realize how common all our memories of certain time of our life can be.
Great writing.
Guess I have to check this album out now!
