Caribou
-
Fri 14 October 2005 // 20:00
with Russian Futurists + Float Party Wing DJs
(Fri 14th / 8pm / £7)
London-based Canadian chameleon Dan Snaith eschewed the fractured folk and jittery rhythms of debut Start Breaking My Heart (released on Leaf as Manitoba in 2000), trailblazing off on the sun-soaked highway to meticulously crafted melodic psych nirvana. Second LP Up In Flames went some way towards realising Snaith's technicolour sound dreams, and now The Milk Of Human Kindness - his first since an enforced name switch to Caribou - adds a stiff krautrock measure to the brew. Two drummers, stunning visuals... Caribou: another Cube coup!
With support from The Russian Futurists, also from Canada, a one man indie pop orchestra for fans of Magnetic Fields and The Flaming Lips.
