What's not to love about Dan Snaith, who has had a glittering career, who started out making "folktronica," who dazzles in kaleidoscopic tropes. who hushes-fizzes then grooves then syncopates? Who had five stunning albums before this? Who keeps getting better and better no matter? Caribou.
As I played DJ sets in Taipei for a few years in the mid-crunch of this decade, some of the tracks from this tapestry went down an absolute treat, gems like 'Can't Do Without You," "Your Love Will Set You Free" and "Julia Brightly" flowed into four hour showcases like olive oil flowing into my roast onion and pepper soup. Sometimes with butter.
In a similar way tthat Daft Punk absolutely revoluted last decade with "Discovery" - here Caribou autumnalized a good head of six years with the delicious Our Love - an ode to one of the gooeyest, yet sweetest feelings known to man - and the tunes never sound sickly. Honestly, if you haven't, get this Spotified quickly.
