Interviews

Dec 02, 2014

It has now been 10 years since punk rock has-been “Handsome Dick” Manitoba forced Dan Snaith to drop his Manitoba moniker and rebrand himself as Caribou.

More

More

Caribou

Darkness on the Dance Floor

Apr 03, 2010

Though the last 10 years have done much to erode the stylistic divide between dance music and the innumerable rock and pop variants, the perception persists that music made for dance floors isn’t quite as serious or thoughtful as music written for headphones. Lyrics, after all, are secondary in dance music; often they’re the dressing for arrangements designed to bypass your brain and go straight to your body. And despite the fact that Caribous Dan Snaith started out making dance music, the sort patented by IDM superstars Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin more than anything crafted specifically for the dance floor, he spent the majority of the last decade carefully honing his skills as a bedroom pop auteur, building dazzling towers of sound out of gorgeously cascading melodies, thundering avalanches of drums, and softly unfurling vocals. Having taken his brand of pocket psychedelia to its logical conclusion with 2007’ s Andorra, Snaith has now returned to his beat-making roots with Swim, this time aiming to both move the pulse of the club with his experimental grooves and capture minds with lyrics about divorce, old age, and loneliness. More


Reviews

Aug 25, 2021

It is hard not to feel that as society begins to return to normal, we should be looking to places like Green Man as a model to aim for. More

Oct 15, 2014
