Caribou Put Best Foot Forward

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) March 24, 2008 1:30 pm
It's important for any artist to set the bar high when playing the same, umm, bar on back-to-back nights. Dan Snaith and his tightly wound players in Caribou did just that, kicking ass and taking names during the first of two shows at Toronto's Lee Palace. The fact that this band can seriously shred live without much in the way of stage presence...

Caribou Bring Precision To The Opera House

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) November 12, 2007 2:30 pm
Dan Snaith, the man behind Caribou, is the definition of unassuming. As we struggled to get past the bottleneck at the entrance to the Opera House on Saturday night, Snaith was almost denied entrance to his own show. That was until someone pointed out to security that he probably didn't need a ticket to watch himself perform. It didn't seem to...

Caribou — Andorra

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) August 21, 2007 3:54 pm

Andorra, his Merge debut, features such a staggering leap in technical skill that it's hard to believe...

Caribou — The Milk Of Human Kindness

in
By Marc Boudignon (CHARTattack) April 19, 2005 9:27 am
Dan Snaith can finally exhale. Under the pseudonym Manitoba, his previous album, Up In Flames, was a psychedelectronic masterpiece, a puffed-up purple haze fashioned with the premise in mind that more ain’t less, more is excess. The critical praise rolled in and the legal problems followed right behind. Snaith continued to hold his breath as the...

Manitoba — Up In Flames

in
By Andy Lee (CHARTattack) April 8, 2003 11:40 am
On his follow-up to 2001’s Start Breaking My Heart, Toronto-based electronic producer Dan Snaith, otherwise known as Manitoba, continues to incorporate experimental elements while maintaining a strict focus on melody. Drawing on the sounds of ‘60s psychedelia, folk and indie rock, Snaith creates wonderfully textured narratives reminiscent of the U...

1) Elliott Smith - "Misery Let Me Down" (Unreleased song from 1997 WMUC session) Imagine how former WMUC DJ Ben Weisholtz felt when he opened his MiniDisc player and found an old radio session with the late, great Elliot Smith.

Caribou's mysterious and enigmatic video for Swim's "Jamelia" was shot in the midst of a pretty epic fog by the looks of it... or someone just put a filter over the camera lens. Either way, that, the woman wandering through a river, a bunch of eagles swooping through the air and creepy looking crustaceans all give it a pretty mystical vibe. Check...
