...late afternoon outdoor nap. Wilkinson’s real skill, though, is crafting the faultless head nod tracks that fill up the rest of the album. Through meticulously recorded and assembled sounds and synthetic beats, Bibio lands hits in an incredibly diverse array of styles. The title track is classic 70s Brazilian-sounding clap-along gold—the kind of song that you wish would follow you around all day. “Jealous of Roses,” the song that follows, runs through a similar vein, featuring falsetto funk vocals and an addictively choppy beat that...
...direction of grain,” and sure enough, the wood’s naturally-occurring growth rings are the focal point of the table’s opposing geometric design.

...Dealing in cash only is a classic trap for immigrants - when it's gone, it's really gone - but Dabis stretches her credibility here. Having worked in a bank in the West Bank for 10 years, Muna would surely have planned ahead, if only where the transfer of money is concerned. Dabis also introduces a romantic interest (Joseph Ziegler) for her whose presence feels a little too convenient. It's nice to think of Muna having a fairy-tale ending, but after witnessing her struggle with the White Castle fry-o-lator and get sucked into the trap of selling...
