Single of the moment, Caribou - Odessa

If Alexis Taylor was Canadian and the sound of Hot Chip had resembled an acid trip then we would have given birth to a Odessaesq hit. Daniel Snaith aka Caribou, a Musician hailing from Ontario, Canada has given us a gem of a first single off his awaited new album Swim, Odessa has a psychedelic charm about it, a processed blend of haunting sounds and computerised beats/guitar melee makes this song listenable many a time. His vulnerable singing goes hand in hand with the production work that he comprises himself. Part of the City Slang crew that has given credence to among others Arcade fire, HEALTH, Broken Social Scene and Lampchop, the A&R people working for this German Stalwart company deserve a raise (FORGET THE RECESSION) because they have unearthed anther gem in Caribou. Judging by this first single and other singles heard from his last album Andorra including Sandy and Melody Day, his new album Swim (released april 19th) is a sure fire underground hit, definately try and catch him when he plays only 3 UK shows so far being at :-




April 19th - Deaf Institute, Manchester





April 20th - Corsica Studio's, London





June 16th - Heaven, London.
