Caribou – Melody Day

I’ve spent the last few days wondering what I could use as an appropriate soundtrack for my reappearance. Something lush, something wholesome, something that could float the boat of pretty much everyone who heard it. In the end it was a no-brainer; once Caribou’s new single ‘Melody Day’ had swung into action I knew I had my man. The startling news is that ‘Melody Day’ is just one of a plethora of outstanding slices of giddy electronica on Dan Snaith’s (Mr Caribou) new album ‘Andorra’ which is set for a release later this month. Like it’s predecessor ‘The Milk Of Human Kindness’, ‘Andorra’ beats with a frantic yet melody soaked attitude, the songs translate almost immediately but also have pleasing staying power. ‘Andorra’s gift should see it colouring your summer as well as those far off days when the sand will be replaced by a mountain of fluffy snow. Caribou will be in Ireland on the 7th (Crawdaddy) and 8th (Roisin Dubh) of next month. KD
