Caribou's Dan Snaith Talks About New Album

Caribou's 2007 album "Andorra" won the 2008 Polaris Music Prize, the album saw a change in direction for the project. Dan Snaith had started to become a singer-songwriter diverging from his beginnings as just making beats on his laptop for his debut. Now in an interview with Eyeweekly.com he talks about the change in direction he plans for the band once again. He says about the change:

The next album will sound very, very different, with the big difference being that I’ve completely gotten rid of the ’60s psychedelic textural sound, that nostalgia thing. Once I feel like I can do something, it becomes less interesting to do it again.

He then goes on to talk about how he will return to making more club music, he has remixed Cortney Tidwell’s 'Watusii' under the name Daphni. He explains the name change here:

At the time, I was thinking that Caribou would continue being this kind of psychedelic-pop vehicle and Daphni would be more club-based music. Subsequent to that, the two streams have joined together more, so we’ll see what happens. I love that freedom in music.

The sudden change of heart comes a surprise but as an artist it shows that he wants to do something different try something new. While it isn't the news I wanted to hear from the new Caribou album it does let us know he is working on another. Snaith hopes to release the new album next Spring. (Image from Roodo)
