On Repeat
Every couple of months I find a new band I can’t stop listening to. This month, the lucky recipient of my undivided attention is Caribou. Caribou’s is actually one dude, with the sweet name of Dr. Daniel Victor Snaith. Not only is he Canadian, and smells of maple syrup, but knows much about Overconvergent Siegel Modular Symbols, which was the focus of his graduate studies.
I’d put the ‘bou somewhere between Panda Bear and the Beach Boys, with a smidge of Flaming Lips coulis dressing the plate.
Neat factotum: Daniel came up with the name of the band while stoned out his fucking mind on LSD in the Canadian wilderness.
Check out their MySpace page, or steal my iPhone, to listen to his musics.
(5) stars out of (5).
PS: Caribou is not new by any means, just finally made it to my headphones by some dumb luck.
