Deserves its own thread. Just discovered it and I like it a lot.

[biggie mcsmalls]

Yeah this is very cool. I want to see this guy live.

[st. park]

good album.

[Eskimo kisses]

I think Niobe might be my favourite song of the year. The whole album is great and even better than Milk of human kindness (which I also thought was great), for me.

yeah, it is deserving of it's own thread for sure... surprised i didn't start one. i was emailing snaith like crazy this past spring trying to find out what was going on with a new record. also want to add that Caribou/Manitoba is still the best "electronic" live show i have ever seen. he knows how to make things entertaining: 2 drummers, video in sync with music, animal masks, and lots of volume. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.c...></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.c.../v/r7RwdElyWHY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

I can't wait to hear this album. It's sitting on my desk, but I don't have time to get to it yet. Hopefully after the weekend!

I agree, their shows are exhilarating. It's always fun to see how they translate and enhance the new material live. They're coming my way in November, so I'll be there to see them a third time.

Love "Niobe." After I first heard it, I played it two more times in a row.

[Pavement Ist Rad]

It's great.

"Melody Day" is sissy indie neo psych pop done right and not sissily and gosh, it's good.

I liked it so much that I bought Up In Flames during the Virgin clearance sale, which is also the fucking tits. A more logical continuation of the sonically ball crushing, psychedelic wonderfulness of 90s landmarks such as Zaireeka and Boces than a whole lot of what the Lips and the Rev have done since those puppies.

Every music person on the planet should be getting in line to have this dude produce their fuckin' ass.

[DrJimmy]

i'm confused because i wasn't so crazy about Milk of Human Kindness.


i need to go off somewhere and sort this one out.

[The Luscious Phil]

I approve off this thread. I approve of this album. He has moved from creating brilliant textures and rhythms to just writing some stunning songs (with brilliant textures and rhythms). Although "Up in Flames" may have more magic to it, this has some killer tunes.

... the street date is 8/21...I guess I'll have to wait.

Holy shit, that was you?? I picked it up, walked around with it, then put it back when I decided I was spending too much money. Then I came back a few days later and did the same thing, only this time my reason for putting it back was that I figured I wasn't that big a Caribou fan and could do without it. But I was still unsettled. After tossing and turning all night, I went back the next day to actually buy it, only to find that some asshole beat me to it. I'm glad you were that asshole.

it's simply one of my favorite records of all time.

Yeah, I got it on a Saturday... June 30th, I believe. Along with some other good shit.

If you had actually beaten me to it, I probably would have ended up buying A Part of America Therein instead! Way to dictate my life and shit.

You really should've cleared out their entire Fall catalog. That's what I would've done if I didn't have it all already

I need this record. Up In Flames is a masterpiece. Milk of Human Kindness? Not so much. It's actually not that great, but it helped spwan that "Boreal Forest Opper" track--which is simply one of my favorite songs of...ever (from the "Yeti" single), so it can't be completely disreagarded.

Still...I sense a massive comeback with this new one. Can't wait. Looking forward to spending some quality time with this one on the road.

[DrJimmy]

i just downloaded Up In Flames because i've never heard it. looking forward to it.

the first 3 songs on Andorra are great, i'm especially liking "After Hours," i love that little drum part.

[arkin]

I just listened to this again this morning, and I like it more and more with each play. So many great songs.
