Caribou (aka Dan Snaith) has announced a new album, Honey, and shared a new song from it, “Come Find Me,” via a music video. Honey is due out October 4 via Merge. Check out the album’s tracklist and cover artwork, as well as Caribou’s upcoming tour dates, below.

Snaith had this to say about “Come Find Me” in a press release: “I love this kind of chord sequence and the sort of French touch type of vibe, but it took a lot of time to find the right vocal hook and breakdown and make it more pop and concise. When I play that one in DJ sets, when it drops down to just the singing and then suddenly it’s a song that surges back in—I know for a fact no one in the crowd has heard it before, and yet people always respond in this really emotionally charged, euphoric way… That’s always the best litmus test that a track has come together in the right way.”

Honey features various recent Caribou singles, including “Broke My Heart,” a new song shared in June, and “Honey,” a new song Caribou shared in April with a music video featuring a steady stream of flamingos. Then in July he shared the album’s “Volume,” via a music video. The song is inspired by M|A|R|R|S’ 1987 hit “Pump Up the Volume.”

In recent years, Snaith has mainly been releasing music under his Daphni moniker, including the 2022 album Cherry. Caribou’s last album, Suddenly, was released in February 2020 via Merge. It was the first Caribou album since 2014’s Our Love. In 2021, he shared the new song “You Can Do It,” via a video featuring a whole lot of dogs.

Snaith had this to say about the new album: “One thing that hasn’t changed for me from the very beginning is a manic curiosity of seeing what I can make out of sound. Not so much what someone can make out of sound—a ‘professional’ with a host of collaborators and resources at their disposal—but me in my little basement studio. There’s more equipment in here than there used to be, but essentially it’s the same as ever: still chasing that thrill of when something hits really hard, and I find myself jumping up and down or the hairs standing up on my arms in excitement. How lucky am I that that’s never gone away? That the chance of making something new and exciting is still as exhilarating as ever, and as much fun as ever? Starting the day with nothing (and finishing most days with nothing good) but occasionally having something that didn’t exist before stuck in my head by the end of the day. It still seems like a kind of alchemy.”
