Portions For Foxes are ultra-pleased to be bringing one of modern electro-pop’s most consistently inspiring acts Sunderland. This November, Dan Snaith, multi-instrumentalist, virtuoso, and most recently. Doctor Of Mathematics, will be warming up our dreary and overly be-Greggsed little city with sunny Krautrock crescendos aplenty.
Caribou’s latest CD, ‘Andorra’ sees Snaith make the hop from Domino Records to Merge (home of Camera Obscura, Neutral Milk Hotel, Arcade Fire etc.) with conquering flair and style. More hooks and chord changes per square minute mark an obviously departure from the looped drones that characterised his earlier work, and led him to rarely be mentioned without a nod to Fourtet but a move into verse and chorus hasn’t meant a move to pop at the lowest common denominator. Something the atomic glow of Andorra’s critical reviews reflects:
‘a multi-layered masterpiece, refreshingly sweet, with beautiful baroque touches’
- NME 8/10
‘Andorra will undoubtedly win Caribou a lot of new fans and rightfully so; it's a big, bold, tuneful collection that impresses with its ambition and meticulous arrangement.’
- Pitchformedia 8.3/10
‘expertly melds experimental electronica with pop sensibilities, a momentous addition to Caribou’s enviable discography.
- Tiny Mix Tapes – 4.5/5
Caribou live is renowned for deploying multiple drummers and synchronised visuals to bring to life the incredible melody filled explosiveness of their tunes. An absolute bargain (seriously) at five quid an advance ticket, with some brilliant local supports and DJs, and free entry to Cool For Cats club night afterwards, we’re even more certain than usual that this one is un-missable.
