***CHECK STOCK!!! Received an 8.2 rating from Pitchfork. In 2014, DAN SNAITH aka CARIBOU released Our Love to overwhelming critical acclaim. Caribou returns now with his new studio album Suddenly, a warm, untamable, and constantly surprising record about family and the changes we go through as those relationships evolve. Most prominently, Suddenly refers to the moments of dramatic and unexpected change that occur at points in any life and within any family—universal themes that can catch you off guard and change your life in a heartbeat. Those dramatic moments are part of a slower process. These moments rear their heads, for good or bad, during the everyday flow of life. Suddenly is in the music, too. This is the most surprising and unpredictable Caribou album to date. Though it retains the trademark Caribou warmth and technicolor, this album is littered with swerves and left turns. As his passion and joy in music-making remains as fresh as ever, Suddenly is the purest example of this yet.

***BACK IN STOCK!!! Swim is CARIBOU’s masterpiece—the record he’s wanted to bring to fruition for as long as he’s been making music. A Canadian from small-town Ontario now based in England, DAN 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 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 RUFFIAN’s LUKE LALONDE)—that becomes more alluring with each listen. Received an 8.4 Best New Music Rating from Pitchfork.
