During their New Year's Eve performance they happened to cover Caribou's 2007 song 'Melody Day'. The band added a new touring member named Ahmed Gallab who had previously toured with Caribou, and maybe that went into the decision to cover it. Thanks to You Ain't No Picasso for the song. The cover doesn't stray too much from the original material besides Kevin's vocals. You can download the so...

For someone who's named himself after majestic deer and a lush foresty Canadian province — not to mention a sample and title songs that deal with nature — it's no surprise that Dan Snaith would want to save the earth. And since he's also a part-time teacher, Snaith seems like the kind of guy who likes to give rather than receive. Appropriately, Snaith, a.k.a. Caribou, announced last week that ...

Caribou aka Daniel Snaith won the Polaris Music Prize and taking home the 20,000 cash prize for Canada’s best Canadian album. I gave the album 4 out of 5.I guess I’m not surprised at all. Reading an article on Friday on the artist’s choice for the prize hinted at Caribou’s Andorra. I’m not mad at [...]

Any awards show that honours a band named Holy Fuck, and then allows a broadcast to go out across the (Internet radio) airwaves where the words "Holy Fuck" are constantly repeated is going to be a-okay in my books. It's a different experience listening to an awards show, but when the honourees are musicians, the visual experience would only ever be secondary. So it was that I sat down to list...

I decided to spend Halloween with Caribou because they seem to like costumes and the two times I've seen them before (once as Manitoba) are still holding strong in my personal list of top live music experiences. I think its the combination of the double drummers, the projected animations, and the bizarre pre-recorded components. (Sometimes, despite all the excess on stage, the vocals are pre-re...

One of my trusted Mogs, Kristiana is the one who has unique styles. Her posts always suprise me. Picture, music, poetry, romanticism, all that stuffs which sometimes opposite from her music collections, mostly Punk, hardcore, emo, bands. She has been to many countries including Thailand but now she stays in Canada (dunno is it her hometown?). I, on the other hand, have no idea about that coun...

A friend of mine popped on this ablum while driving down I-10 in Los Angeles from Silver Lake to Santa Monica, it's the middle of the night, no one is on the usually uber-crowded road. She turns to me and says, "prepare to fall in love." Immediately we go silent, turn it up, and... Yes! I'm hooked. Technorati Profile

This is a very cool band on Merge, the label that brought you Arcade Fire and Spoon and lots of other great artists. This is off their new album, Andorra.

When Dan Snaith was blocked from recording under the name Manitoba—due to a lawsuit filed by an old punk rocker called Handsome Dick Manitoba—he was forced to come up with a new name and settled on Caribou; the name of an animal oft found roaming said Canadian Province.Maybe the London-based musician/doctor (he earned his PhD in 2005)—who will release a new album called Andorra via Merge Record...
