Caribou - Our Love

Caribou
Our Love
2014

"Our Love" is an electronic journey with Dan Snaith digging into the world of love to create something beautiful, poetic and ever interesting. The music is unlike anything I have heard before, it is complex while still keeping a beat that you can move to. The songs are almost entirely electronic by still have a very organic feel and progression. There clearly was a great deal of effort and time put into constructing these tracks, each one keeping with the love theme throughout the album but totally original in their own right.

If I had one critique it would be when Snaith himself sings. The tracks where he brings someone else in really elevate the music to a whole other level. His voice is fine, it is just kind of odd and takes me out of the tunes a bit. "Second Chance" is a great example of this, the feminine voice really brings something to the track that is missing in the rest of the album. However this is a very very small issue I have with an otherwise stellar album. For me this would be a perfect album to put on a long night drive, hopefully with someone you love (See what I did there??).

9 out of 10 Stars!
