Hibou Hibou (Dark Lilac)

Hibou’s self-titled LP continues to hold a very warm place in the hearts and ears of many fans, ten years after its original release — with several songs logging millions of streaming plays, Peter Michel's debut full-length is a hazy bedroom-pop indie classic. Written, recorded and played by Michel at home in Seattle before he decamped to Paris, Hibou's 11 songs feature a lush, driving mix of '80s inspired pop, fueled by twisting reverbed-out guitar melodies, elegant arrangements, and a love of soda and summertime nostalgia. Long out of print on vinyl, Barsuk is happy to be celebrating the album's 10th anniversary with a new colored vinyl pressing including an insert with new artwork.
