From Manitoba to Caribou

Dan Snaith's electronica project, once named Manitoba, is now under a new ID: Caribou.

Manitoba was one of the great highlights in the electronica genre since the very first album ("Start Breaking My Heart"). Dan Snaith managed his way through the electro scene by bein' innovative, running away from the usual beats and melodies and creating a kaleidoscopic melodious electronic crazyness that'll make you stunned. In fact, using only computer equipment and some actual instruments (like guitars, keybords, or even glockenspiel), Dan Snaith makes music totally by ear, messing around with weird samples and experimenting. Sounding a bit like Lali Puna, Apparat, Four Tet, Boards Of Canada or even Air at times, Manitoba is, indeed, amazing. Now, Dan Snaith's back with Caribou. Same genius behind it all, but expanding it's limits even further, once again Dan scored with a completely new edge in this genre. That's why every album's so different from the others, and yet there's always that certain something that you can recognize in it's core. Well, Caribou's the new standard in electronica. It's difficult to reach the state of genuine classic, but I think Dan won this battle. The latest Caribou album's called "The Milk Of Human Kindness". With great songs like 'Subotnick', 'A Final Warning', 'Hands First' or 'Brahminy Kite', this album sure brings new stuff up to it's genre and becomes, this way, a gotta-listen-or-die reference...
