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

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.

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.

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.

Really liked the Daphni record, reviewed it here, was clearly battered the night before judging by the sentence length lol:http://crackmagazine.net/music/daphni/

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

What is this sex you speak of?
― Sexy Data Scientist (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 17:00 (eleven years ago) link
It's like wanking but more socially awkward.
― comedy is unnatural and abhorrent (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 2 October 2012 17:04 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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.

Listening now to the Daphni/OwenPallett stuff which is also v cool, wasn't aware of it before.
― ₴HABΔZZ ¶IZZΔ (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 4 June 2014 22:01 (nine years ago) link
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).
― toby, Thursday, 5 June 2014 04:14 (nine years ago) link
the new track gets better every time I listen to it. wish I could go listen to it somewhere loud on big speakers.
― ₴HABΔZZ ¶IZZΔ (Hurting 2), Thursday, 5 June 2014 04:35 (nine years ago) link
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?

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.
― hyggeligt, Thursday, 5 June 2014 21:51 (nine years ago) link
I saw him do an allnighter with four tet in brixton. Weird crowd but he was great. (Hebden too.)
― sktsh, Thursday, 5 June 2014 23:53 (nine years ago) link
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?
― ₴HABΔZZ ¶IZZΔ (Hurting 2), Friday, 6 June 2014 14:43 (nine years ago) link
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.

ok. i've had a chance to listen a few times. i really like it. but why's caribou so sad?

haven't heard this but did he go ahead and make a poppy club record?

don't know if it's already been mentioned, but his falsetto reminds me of wayne coyne kinda.. little too much

Stellar record. The single is my least favorite track but that's a minor quibble in an otherwise wonderful album. Mr. Snaith has done it again.
― oscar, Thursday, 7 August 2014 07:39 (nine years ago) link
Shades of Junior Boys...but so much better. Sad ? Maybe. Moreso introspective. Gorgeous synth work and bass tones all over this thing.
― oscar, Thursday, 7 August 2014 07:45 (nine years ago) link
I've only really listened late night on headphones so far, and once at my desk while working, but I'm pretty sure there's no brass anywhere, and no tumbling jazzy drum samples, either. Some violin on a couple of tracks? Had hoped Owen might sing on it but it seems like he played violin.
Silver really is amazing; that little vocal tick sample running through it ("hear it" or suchlike?) somehow really adds to the emotional tone rather than breaking it. And the synths, omg, so gorgeous.
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 7 August 2014 07:52 (nine years ago) link
silver definitely kicking hardest. back home is wonderful too.
title track's the only one I haven't fallen in love with so far
