Andorra is the 4th full length from Dan Snaith recording under his Caribou moniker (formerly known as Manitoba – but that’s a whole ‘nother story). Andorra has more of a full band feel than some of Caribou’s earlier studio efforts. It’s still just Dan in the studio creating his singular magic, but the extensive touring that Caribou did for his last album, The Milk of Human Kindness, definitely left its mark on the arrangements. The sound is more expansive and more blissfully psychedelic than ever, which explains why Pitchfork noted the album as Best New Music. -Merge Records
Through the years Dan Snaith strongly evolved in musical styles from his Four Tet like glitch-electronica with Manitoba to this 60′s psychedelic electro-pop with Andorra.
As a longtime fan of Caribou/Manitoba I can say that Andorra might be his best work yet. His tightly structured multi-layered electro-pop songs have established him as a great singer/songwriter with an eccentric warm breathy voice.
Definitely a killer album you shouldn’t miss.
Be sure to hit the jump for the music video of the first single Melody Day and the video for Yeti off of the previous album.
