Caribou – “Odessa”
Daniel Victor Snaith, known to us as Caribou, has a new album arriving April 20th via Merge. It’s called Swim. Our first sip of the album, its opener, “Odessa,” is a rubbery electronic track, anchored by a deep, coolly familiar vocal sample that bubbles up as both spokesperson and hook. A more minimalistic composition, the malleable “Odessa” is a directly danceable stroke away from Snaith’s whirring, drum-lined 2008 spin, Andorra.

“Swim (To Reach the End)” – Surfer Blood
This earnest anthem isn’t just for people that need to know how to swim. And Surfer Blood isn’t only for fun-in-the-sun pilgrims. Catapulting at the sound of the triple kick drum, the song delivers a trajectory that we all know as clean guitar jabs propel this perhaps inflated early single from Surfer Blood. Nothing to fret though, the rest of the album is how they earn a few gratuitous explosions.
