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. It’s difficult to know what effect, if any, that rebranding has had on the evolution of his creative persona, but it has taken Snaith 12 years and six studios albums to get to the point where he feels comfortable enough to insert himself into his music as its central character.

Darkness on the Dance Floor
Apr 03, 2010
By Matt Fink
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 Caribou’s 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.
