I find Dan Snaith to be one of the most underrated musicians of the electronica scene today, simply because the man isn’t getting by far the kind of coverage and credit he deserves. I absolutely adored and fell in love with “Andorra” day by day as I digested the album and each track started to grow on me. With this in mind, you can imagine I had high hopes and anxious feeling regarding Caribou’s latest…
Caribou’s latest full length “Swim”, released this April, is somewhere in my top 10 fav of the year so far. If you’re not that well impressed, it’s enough to sample Daniel Snaith’s Odessa or the techno infused, feel good track “Sun”, whose music video premiered earlier. While sub par compared with the quality of the song itself, the Simon Owens directed video however does a pretty good job in conveying the ecstatic nature of Sun….
One of my favorite Danish up and going bands, Oh No Ono, just released their third studio effort, titled “Egg”, an album bristling with tight synth lines and pop goodness. Today, Caribou released an incredible remix of “Eleanor Speaks”, the opening track for Oh No Ono’s Egg, which totally turned the original at 180 degrees “into a fantastic slice of shuffling, four-to-the-floor techno complete with Caribou’s keen ear for arrangements and ear-tickling sound.” A great…
Daniel Snaith (read Caribou) return with a fantastic effort last year, when he unveiled his paradisaical Andorra (no, not the financial paradise). “Irene” was one of my favorite tracks from it, so you can imagine the joy when I first set eyes on the video a few hours ago. Speaking of the video, it centeres the song’s vibe and ideas perfectly, featuring calming and serene footages of nature, sleepy animals, lazy insects and still waters…

This last few weeks have been a bit poor in new releases, in both quantity and quality, but this week it’s different, as a swarm of great new records will hit your music store this week. “Kala” from [tag]M.I.A[/tag], “Under The Blacklight” from [tag]Rilo Kiley[/tag], “Challangers” from [tag]New Pornographers[/tag] or “Andorra” from [tag]Caribou [/tag] are just a few of the great albums to gracefully land in your iPod. Caribou:
With his forth album, Andorra, just around the corner electronic musician [tag]Caribou[/tag] reveals his latest video for “Irene”, directed by Nic Brown & David James. The whole video is a collage composed of short nature footages, which leads to a awesome calming and relaxing experience. Clean and simple, a lot more different then Caribou’s last video Melody Day. Andorra will be out on August 21, in the US, you can listen to the whole album…
Daniel Snaith is back with a new video of his upcoming ‘Andorra” LP, some old fans may know him as “Manitoba”, while listeners who just got into Daniel’s music will surely recognize him by his most recent adopted stage name [tag]Caribou[/tag]. Talking about the new album Daniel said: “I find it more exciting to look inside somebody’s imagination,” Dan offered. “That’s how I see this album, as being a window, and those kind of fictional…
