After the worldwide success and critical acclaim of his last album, the magical fairyland of 2003's 'Up In Flames', Dan Snaith aka Caribou [formerly Manitoba] put together his band and provided a blinding day-glo shimmer of electronics, guitar, glockenspiel and keyboards live on stage, in support of new peers like Stereolab, Prefuse 73, Four Tet and Broadcast.
Now, he brings us the distinctive, dynamic 'The Milk Of Human Kindness', his most progressive and forward-thinking album yet.
Like a lost album that's just been re-discovered for the first time since '73, 'The Milk Of Human Kindness' is part reflective, campfire-comedown, part rampage of sonic discovery, reveling in energy and motion. The emotional depth and range is striking, while stylistically, Caribou move from place to place, linked by strength of songwriting and free-spirited abandon.
Clearly Caribou's 'The Milk Of Human Kindness' is a special piece of work, sounding like nothing you've ever heard before, yet vaguely recognizable thanks to it's impassioned vitality and wide-eyed, joyous emotion.
"Cutting up classical, psyching out psychedelica, ripping up rock and still finding room to razzle-dazzle dance music!"
