Honey

Dan Snaith’s latest album, “Honey,” marks an intriguing new phase for Caribou. Over more than two decades Dan Snaith has had many guises. After putting every ounce of himself into Our Love and Suddenly, for his sixth Caribou album Snaith now pulls himself away a little in search of music that isn’t about any one person and is available to everybody. Huge dancefloor tracks twinkle, shimmer and surprise in a way only Snaith’s produc­tions can but with a freshness that defines an artist who is too excited by music-making to ever truly settle into any one sound.

There’s never been a Caribou record that sounds like the last, so change here is just as comforting as constant. They say expect the unexpected and you’ll never be surprised; well there’s plenty here to be surprised by, but then with a Caribou record you’d never expect anything less. “Honey” captures Snaith’s curiosity and joy in music-making, offering a fresh yet quintessential Caribou experience.
