Caribou :: Andorra


Caribou
Andorra
Merge Records


Canadian, Dan "Caribou" Snaith, is a self-admitted control freak who also recently completed his PhD in mathematics, specializing in algebraic number theory. Meanwhile, Caribou's new release, Andorra, sounds like it could be the soundtrack to a musical directed by filmmaker Wes Anderson, which would be set in the 1960s. The film's lead character would be based upon an emotionally driven Elliott Smith-type who is obsessed with meticulous details, and surrounds himself with love, sunshine, bubbles, acid, and keyboards. The climax ends in pure psychedelic pop blissfulness.
