#38 Seller of 2005! Dan Snaith has been hard at work on an artistic response, which has turned out to be a doozy in the form of his third album, The Milk Of Human Kindness. Building upon the artistic foundation of Up In Flames, Snaith has shed some of the kaleidoscopic haze in favor of crisper, clearer vibe. Moving to the fore is a distinct influence from the likes of Neu!, Silver Apples and Soft Machine.[ read more ]

Dan Snaith, under the guise of Caribou (formerly Manitoba), has been producing critically acclaimed albums for six years now, each an impressive development on the previous one. For his Merge debut, he marries the kaleidoscopic grandeur he's known for with pop melodies and harmonies crammed densely together. The album is so vividly three-dimensional, it's hard to believe it was performed and recorded entirely by Snaith at home, save for vocal and songwriting contributions by friend/tour mate Junior Boys' Je   [ read more ]

REISSUE. Once upon a time there was a young lad who went by the name of Manitoba, until he was forced by law to change his name. As Caribou, he's a phoenix reborn from the flames of possible litigation. And like Caribou, his two early albums are born again here - harder, better, faster, stronger. Each deluxe re-issue contains an entire bonus disc of material.

At the conclusion of our last episode, you might recall that our show was called Manitoba. Alas, what was a lighthearted sitcom became a drama, and it was revealed that Dan Snaith was no longer Manitoba, but Caribou. All the while, our protagonist has been hard at work on an artistic response, which has turned out to be a doozy in the form of his third album. The Milk of Human Kindness.

"Melody Day" is the first single and a glimpse into the vocally charged pop music coming soon on Caribou's brilliantly kaleidoscopic Andorra. With a Four Tet remix and a non-album track, this is a great precursor to what promises to be a fantastic album. Dan Snaith has been producing majestic music and electronic soundscapes (first under the guise Manitoba and now Caribou) for six years now.

Caribou's Start Breaking My Heart is closer to Elliott Smith than Coldcut, and about as stable as a bull in a china shop full of unheard copies of Kid A, but this is the sort of production that niftily stands for modern solo melancholiacs with more to offer than a co-option of Warp back catalogs and egregious MOR. Responsibility for Start goes to Toronto's Dan Snaith, a twenty-something musician whose work is both technical enough for scholastic jazz ears and organic enough for ac   [ read more ]
