Caribou

Dan Snaith has explored all manner of musical genres in his lifetime, a project the Canadian pursued with the thirst of an autodidact and the rigour of an academic - he also happens to hold a PhD in mathematics. Caribou is one of his many guises. Under that name, Snaith combines dance music, indie rock and jazz. His debut ‘Swim’ (2010) landed him a Juno Award - a Canadian Grammy - for best electronic album. The influential Pitchfork magazine counts that work as one of the 100 best albums of the 21st century. Further honing his pop sensibilities, Snaith scored hits with catchy anthems such as ‘Can’t Do Without You’, ‘You and I’ and ‘Honey’. Meanwhile, live, Caribou has grown into an impressive rave act. Snaith plays drums and mans the console. He is flanked by extra musicians, including a second drummer.
