Bibliotek is a 2012 album by Scottish musician Momus. It was released on June 5, 2012 by independent record label American Patchwork on CD and distributed by Darla Records.
Audun Mortensen's book Žižek's Jokes: (Did You Hear the One about Hegel and Negation?), a 2014 compilation of Slavoj Žižek jokes, described Bibliotek as "pastoral horror." Momus said its genre's most immediate source is British horror films of the early 1970s while tracing literary influences back to such writers as William Blake, Horace, John Milton, and Samuel Palmer. He recorded the album in Osaka, Japan while writing a script for a horror film set in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.Bibliotek samples the films The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971), The Wicker Man (1973), and Woman in the Dunes (1964) as well as their respective soundtracks, e.g. Toru Takemitsu's film score, etc. Songs from Bibliotek and from other 2000s albums Bambi, Glyptothek, and Turpsycore were recollected in the Cherry Red Records anthology Public Intellectual.
