Bibio's sixth studio album "Silver Wilkinson", named after a fishing fly found in a charity shop, was recorded shortly after "Mind Bokeh" and was released 13 May 2013. Wilkinson took lyrical inspiration from films and daydreams and sought a "cinematic, panoramic and lush" sound for the record, while electing to "pick up the guitar more and focus on a more melancholy live sound". "Sycamore Silhouetting" dates back to 2007-2008 and existed in "many different versions" before being finished for "Silver Wilkinson", and "You" began as part of the side projects which led to "Ambivalence Avenue". Significant parts of lead single "À tout à l'heure" and "Dye the Water Green" were recorded outdoors in Wilkinson's garden. Wilkinson described the album as his "most melancholy perhaps as a whole". The album was met with mostly positive reviews, with AllMusic praising the album as "a scenic route through Bibio's music that showcases its depth as well as its breadth."
