Here’s a chance to listen to the entire new album by the always wonderful Caribou. Dig those muffled, awkward disco beats, mournful melodies and expert textures !

Caribou announced the release in April of their new album “Swim” today and released the above lead-off tune “Odessa” into the world. Main Caribou Dan Snaith is an absolute sonic master, dealing mainly in muted and worn textures. This song is somehow both awkward and hypnotic simultaneously, a subtle grower with lots of interesting little bits coming and going amid the repeated hooks galore.
Bonus clip : To my eternal delight Snaith had the questionable taste to sample a big chunk of my guitar madness from the first Medicine LP on the below song “Barnowl” from their 2005 LP “The Milk of Human Kindness”.
