Dan Snaith’s last incarnation as Caribou was way back in 2010 with the epic album Swim, so it’s with much pleasure that we see him return in 2014 with the upcoming LP Our Love due out in October.
Title track ‘Our Love’ certainly feels and sounds as though it has been four years in the making.
It’s a bold behemoth of a thing, fit to bursting with wavering, oscillating electro soundscapes, 90s-tinged vocal samples, and a fluctuating tempo of trip-hop beats.
Undercut all of this with a palpitating bassline, and overlay it with the delicate “our love” refrain, and you’ve got an impressive, imposing new release that continues to build on the darker disposition of Swim.
Get ready -“Our Love” is big, and the album from whence it came is set to be even bigger.
