Caribou

Dan Snaith kicked off his career 10 years ago with soothingly downbeat electronica but then voyaged far and wide, putting out albums of maximalist psychedelia (Up In Flames), brittle kraut (The Milk Of Human Kindness) and summery ’60s pop (Andorra). Each time, bleeps and bloops made appearances but seemed beside the point: Caribou is more about ecstatic synthesis than synthetics. Snaith's newest release, Swim, finds him diving back into pure sequencing, but the result is his strangest and gutsiest work yet. As he has in the past, Snaith is offering a new CD of seven unreleased tracks with complementary DJ mix only at shows.
