One of the most anticipated albums of the spring was by far Swim by Caribou who popped by Helsinki in August for one of the best performances of the Flow Festival this year.
This previously featured old timer also known as Manitoba or just plain Daniel Victor Snaith has released a lot of albums and a definite hit tune, and yet he's just a couple years over his thirties. Quite an accomplishment as also is the album being released tomorrow.
Swim means tropical simpleton bounce at it's finest. It's made of lush and delicate textures suitable excellently for bathing and it's often without a definite kick and crackle which is refreshingly fantastic. Odessa has a definite instant classic feel to it.
Sit back, take a load of your feet, lay down and embrace the chilly but warm waves of Swim in it's full glory below and watch the ominous video for Odessa, the track that has somewhat an instant classic feel to it. Check out also the vid for Sun and also for that earlier definite hit tune just to realize that you definitely might have heard the dude earlier than you'd think.
Album picks: Odessa, Sun, Bowls.
