Just realised that Swim comes out just before I get married. Nice.

Odessa sounds quite good. The late April release date has me pretty excited too. I'm could definitely go for some early springtime cruisin' to the new Caribou!

Has anyone been peeping Dan's dance edits on the Resista label under his "Daphni" alias? They've been pretty killer so far and i like that his love for African music translates into some very dancefloor friendly edits of songs by Balla et ses Balladins and the like. and then the track he just dropped on Jiaolong, which uses an Analog Africa track for some heavier techno business, is easily one of my favorites for the year.

Need to check that out. I see that they are doing some dates as Radiohead's opening act, and previously remixed Radiohead.

I'm not on this thread making Chapterhouse jokes? How? Or was that another thread?
Heard "Sun (sunsunsunsunsunsunsunsun)" in the pub the other night, which was a bit of a headphuck. Someone in my local boozer is determined to make sure I spend more time in there.

Yes? What? Hello? Did someone call my name? I've only heard one Daphni track but this is relevant to my interests.
Also, Dan Snaith needs to stop raiding my cupboard because he is wearing my shirt in that photo.

Yeah, I found it. It's nice, but it's too... too clean? I don't know. I might come back to it when I'm in a different mood because it seems like the sort of thing I would like if I were feeling more pristine.

I often find this with Manitoba, though. That if I hear just one track, I'm all "yeah, this is the best thing evah!" but it doesn't really hold my attention for a whole album's length. So I'd probably like them in other contexts, i.e. if they were in a DJ set or something.

I love this track so much - it's been the tune of my summer so far. I really love the album, too; for me it combines the sound of the last album with the Daphni material perfectly.

Yeah, really into the minimalism and sound palette of this album. The two singles are probably my least favorite tracks tbh.
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 22:44 (four years ago) link
yeah "never come back" feels like an Obligatory Single here and not a standout

Thanks Moka - we're generally all pretty good at the moment but we've been through the mill for sure.
I have reservations about his voice, although it's normally not obstrusive enough to have any detrimental effect, and I wasn't expecting to be so into this from radio play of the singles (Never Come Back sounded exactly like a continuation of Our Love, and Home seemed too reliant on the sample, but they both work much better in context of the album for me) and early reports of how much he's singing on it, but it's actually working for me way more than his singing has before.
There are a few points where I kind of want it to go wild and tip into that collapse/chaos he's done before - the end of Magpie, for instance, teases me that it's going to explode and then it pulls back and finishes - and initially I was a bit gutted that he hadn't pushed it right out there, but I'm also impressed by the restraint.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 5 March 2020 09:52 (four years ago) link
Great seeing you write about music again, Scik Mouthy. I remember following your blog years ago and getting some amazing recommendations. And I'm glad the family's doing better!
“Our Love” didn't grab me much either, maybe apart from the singles, and Daphni was never really my thing, but I'm looking forward to picking up a copy of the new one today after work. I actually like his singing on his older tracks so the focus on vocals shouldn't be a problem.
