CARIBOU - SWIM (LP)

Caribou Swim On 2 x Vinyl LP

Swim is Caribou’s masterpiece, the record Dan Snaith has wanted to bring to fruition for as long as he’s been making music. A Canadian from small-town Ontario now based in England, Snaith has been a leading figure in electronic music over the past decade. A mathematics scholar and an ingenious multi-instrumentalist/composer, he surprised critics and fans alike with 2007’s Andorra, a brilliant, electro-tinged pop breakthrough with a timeless grace that made most year-end ‘Best of’ lists and won Canada’s prestigious Polaris Music Prize. After the startling infectiousness of Andorra, Swim is a more complex, multi-layered affair, ripe with fascinating rhythms, instrumentation, and vocals (including those of Born Ruffians’ Luke LaLonde, who appears on “Jamelia”), that becomes more alluring with each listen.
