Caribou - Suddenly

While Suddenly is all a bit faint in typical Caribou fashion, it's nevertheless a sweet and heartfelt helping of indietronica.

Caribou - Our Love

Caribou's latest record is a bit of a concept album about the ups and downs of love.

Caribou - "Can't Do Without You"

https://soundcloud.com/caribouband/cant-do-without-you While we haven't been head-over-heels for the most recent projects from veteran electronic musician Dan Snaith (Caribou & Daphni), we can't say he has ever stopped delivering some fantastic dance and techno grooves, and it's great he's been able to maintain some slightly experimental tendencies.

I for one am optimistic about his new album under the Caribou handle, Our Love. This lead single "Can't Do Without You" has a ton of soul and a sweet progression. I really dig the way Snaith uses repetition for the first minute and a half - it gives the climax even more oomph. A killer track; color me hopeful. Listen above and enjoy!

Our Love is due out October 7 via Merge.

Daphni- Jiaolong

As Daphni, electronic music veteran Daniel Snaith--if you'll allow me to call him that--assembles a series of straightforward and colorful tech house tracks.

Stream the New Daphni Album

Daniel Snaith, best known for his Polaris Music Prize-winning electronic project Caribou, has a new record out under the monicker of Daphni entitled JIAOLONG. Citing long nights of club DJing while supporting Radiohead on their most recent tour, it's evident on JIAOLONG that Snaith has fallen in love with electronic music of the dance persuasion. Eschewing the fastidious construction of past projects, the Daphni approach is considerably more direct and impulsive, resulting in ecstatic tech house grooves and mesmerizing tribal house passages. Importantly though, Snaith retains his left-field compositional voice on this dalliance with dance, giving plenty of reason for Caribou fans, and fans of unique electronic music in general, to check out this release.

Stream the album in its entirety above and if it particularly strikes your fancy, you can purchase it through Merge Records.

Daphni- "Pairs"

Dan Snaith, a.k.a. Caribou, a.k.a. Daphni has dropped a new track via video. The title: Pairs. It's a trippy, strange, and somewhat awkward house tune that features synths of all shapes and sizes. The sounds feel about as multi-colored as the video fronting them. The groove is pretty nice. The only thing that irks me about the track is one particular synth that keeps cutting in. It's got the timbre of a dentist drill, and it's twice as loud, hah. Other than that, another solid production from Snaith.

Look for Daphni's new release, JIAOLONG, on October 16th.

Daphni- "Ye Ye"

A newly released visual accompanying the Daphni (a.k.a. Caribou) track "Ye Ye," which isn't entirely new since it was released last year, I believe, along with a new Four Tet track; however, this video release is nonetheless important because it comes with an album announcement for the Daniel Snaith-masterminded electronica project.

The album will be self-released via Snaiths Jiaolong label. The title of this release: JIAOLONG, of course. Look for it on October 8th.
