Caribou / Manitoba (Dan Snaith) - Classic or Dud?

This Daphni remix of an old Malian disco track is all percussivey and great:

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

Didn't really know this guy until Swim, but have since been checking out the back catalog which I like even more.

Up In Flames is still one my favourite things ever

^^ cosign! love this one forever.

I gather Dan was recording Caribou material early his year. I love this dude.

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.

daphni album yeah awright damn

that daphni emeralds remix is still one of my favourite things this year. WCC you def need to hear that!

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.

Emeralds - Does It Look Like I'm Here? (Daphni Mix)

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.

The tracks I've heard are suuuuper minimal, like, hilarious. I love it

Sinkane - Runnin' (Daphni mix)

...builds up something awesome.

Daphni album streaming here: http://www.residentadvisor.net/feed-item.aspx?id=53133

can't find the streaming link - do I need to "join" to be able to see it or am I just dumb?

lol, there is a REALLY shitty metal band on Spotify with the same name

There should also be a link from the RA front page? I'm not signed in or anything.

I think I might just be missing plugins on my work browser.

really like jiaolong on first listen

what I mean, fwiw, is that I get the page that says "RA Exclusive: Stream Daphni..." but there's nothing on the page to actually stream, that I can find. Is it some kind of player?

Looks like a Flash plugin, I think.

ah, flashpwned again

So it's basically a more griddy and less interesting Four Tet. That makes me sad. I wanted to like this more.

Yeah I'm enjoying this but I'm not in love with it by any means.

aw, i had my hopes up for this after loving yeye and the emeralds remixes

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.

TMI: manitoba is good sex music

Really liked the Daphni record, reviewed it here, was clearly battered the night before judging by the sentence length lol:

Bows is the best sex music. But that's probably for another thread.

What is this sex you speak of?

It's like wanking but more socially awkward.

so outside of the singles "ye ye" and "yes i know" i find this daphni pretty disappointing...

nice. A new caribou track is exactly what my afternoon needed.

Fun!

good, I like it

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.

but but it's not out til October

god this track is so good

Listening now to the Daphni/OwenPallett stuff which is also v cool, wasn't aware of it before.

The Daphni/Owen Pallett stuff is amazing in a club (still great at home, but people always go crazy for it when I've seen it played out).

the new track gets better every time I listen to it. wish I could go listen to it somewhere loud on big speakers.

Now I'm listening to his "7.5 hr DJ Mix" which, 1.42 in has been good all the way through so far. The guy is a DJing savant.

Also on soundcloud?

yup

Thank you. Something to look forward to over the weekend.

Has anyone actually seen him DJ? I saw him on a boiler room webcast with Jamie XX I think. I liked it but hard to got measure of how into it crowd were.

I saw him do an allnighter with four tet in brixton. Weird crowd but he was great. (Hebden too.)

I really like the way the new track builds but never quite blows. I love tracks that do that. Is there a thread for songs that do that?

i'm not so crazy about it... i mean it's ok. reminds me of the latest fourtet stuff that never really grabbed me much.

this new one is more dance-oriented. "home" feels like something he coulda done mid-aughts, tho.

I think this one is good but nothing on it sizzles for me
