如果你喜欢刺激和让你灵魂出窍的电子乐,那你一定不能错过Caribou的现场演出。
由Caribou 主脑Dan Snaith所创造的2010年最新专辑 “Swim”可说是新一代电子乐的最佳杰作。从吸取流行音乐的潮流气息到混合Disco底蕴丰厚的电子乐再加上诱人的现场演出,这就是Caribou吸引潮流大众的秘诀所在!
来自加拿大安大略省的一个小镇的Caribou 主脑Dan Snaith,在这十年内一直是电子乐的代表人物之一。由于潮流大众对这种新声音的拥拜让“Swim”这张专辑成功地登上了美国Billboard的200强。
Dan Snaith在2005年于英国著名电音厂牌Leaf出版专辑《The Milk Of Human Kindness》,深受70年代中期法国前卫摇滚影响,听来复古熟悉,也成为许多乐迷2005年的年度推荐专辑。作为一个精通于各种乐器的数学博士,Dan于2007年制作的专辑《 Andorra》让乐评人士和听众耳目一新。这张专辑是很多人在年终最佳专辑榜单上的不二选择,并且荣获加拿大最受瞩目的Polaris 音乐奖。大名鼎鼎的美国迷幻乐队The Flaming Lips也在随后推荐Caribou在纽约All Tomorrow’s Parties音乐节上进行表演。

Dan Snaith's early recordings as Manitoba underlined his status among the chattering electronic classes as one of the brightest talents to emerge during the early 2000s. Having already proved himself master of the sublime with his 2000 debut EP, People Eating Fruit, the Canadian's subsequent Paul's Birthday EP opened him out even further. After moving to London, he released an excellent second album (Up in Flames) in 2003 that saw him become a darling of critics. One year later, however, Snaith was forced to give up the name Manitoba after Dictators frontman Handsome Dick Manitoba sued for trademark infringement (despite the passing of 15 years since the release of the only material under his name, a 1990 LP by Manitoba's Wild Kingdom). Snaith renamed his project Caribou, his two previous full-lengths were reissued under the new monicker, and he released his first new Caribou record, The Milk of Human Kindness, in May 2005 for Domino. Snaith moved to Merge for 2007's gorgeous Andorra.
