    This album is one of the most emotionally evocative pieces of ambient music I've heard in a long time. I've been listening to it for days now, and it keeps bringing me more and more feelings each time I hear it. I walk around the neighbourhood and I can almost feel it changing my heart rate over time. It's so thoughtful and possibly the most beautiful piece of music I've heard all year.

    The ninth album from Wolverhampton born singer-guitarist and producer Stephen James Wilkinson is even more vague and numinous than 2016’s A Mineral Love and far better for it. [Feb 2018, p.58]

    Entrancing in its stillness, Phantom Brickworks solidifies Bibio as an artist of remarkable versatility.

    It's exquisite ghostly piano and hypnotic loops transport you to a gauzy, fantastical netherworld. [Jan 2018, p.96]
