Junior Boys' Jeremy Greenspan will join Caribou's Caribou Vibration Ensemble for the band's final summer festival dates.

Greenspan, who co-wrote Caribou's "She's The One," from the 2008 Polaris Music Prize-winning Andorra, will sing and play vibraphone with the band for their shows at Toronto's Opera House on Sept. 10 and at the All Tomorrow's Parties Festival in Monticello, N.Y. a day later.

The Caribou Vibration Ensemble features Four Tet's Kieran Hebden, Koushik, Enon's John Schmersal, One Little Plane's Kathryn Bint, Sinkane's Ahmed Gallab, a four-piece horn section, choir and four drummers. Sun Ra Arkestra leader Marshall Allen will join the Ensemble for their ATP show.

Caribou main man Dan Snaith will also play a DJ set with Gary Abugan at Toronto's Wrongbar on Sept. 17.

Snaith has also been working on the follow-up to Andorra, which he last blogged about in May. There's no word on when it will hit stores or what it will be called.
