Dan Snaith’s new album, Swim is the sound ofthe musical glass ceiling being blown away.If there is a link to previous album Andorra, it would be in the ravishing explosions of soundpulsing through album closer ‘Niobe’. A continuum of sorts leads us to 2010, but that finalegives mere hints as to the future Caribou. From the opening effervescent gambol of ‘Odessa’to the glorious odyssey of ‘Jamelia’, it’s crystal clear that Caribou has made a massive leapforwards, upwards and sideways.Dan’s latest recording sees him getting busy in the basement with some expertlyconstructed, rave-tinged sounds that sing with soul. But that’s not all. As a songwriterof considerable standing, Dan has not subsumed his uniquely recognisable touch inan orgy of technical bliss – although, there is plenty of euphoria in the musical alchemyon offer. From Dan’s perspective, he says, “The most important thing for me withthis record was finding my own sonic vocabulary. That’s why I’m proud of this record.”Swim is full of brightly textured, rapturous gems that gleam with astonishing production– and then wrenches at your heart with soulful, thoughtful reveries on the passingof time, family history and the breakdown of relationships. “There are songs aboutgrowing old in a relationship, about divorce and loneliness in old age but the lyricsare generally pretty abstract sketches of what’s going on in the situation in my head.”Ready for the new Caribou future?<strong>Tuba</strong> <strong>Records</strong> AS - Karl Johansgt. 6 - 0154 Oslo - NorwayTlf: +47 2201 0000 Fax: +47 2201 0001 tuba@tubarec.com www.tubarec.comXIV

It is what Iimagine their more highly-evolved pop might sound like: shiny soul music with robots andhumans singing together. We are sending a pop music message through time.”So says The Apples in stereo / Elephant 6 collective mastermind Robert Schneider.The Apples’ new album and seventh studio effort, Travellers in Space and Time is thefollow-up to their critically acclaimed hit album New Magnetic Wonder and their secondrelease in association with Elijah Wood’s Simian <strong>Records</strong>.Travellers finds the studio-obsessed indie rockers continuing the hook-heavy pop mastery theyachieved on New Magnetic Wonder, an album that spawned performances on Conan O’Brienand Stephen Colbert, along with numerous commercial placements (Pepsi, Samsung, NewBalance) and even a performance of hit single “Energy” by the contestants of American Idol.Well over a year in the making, the new material recasts the Apples’ signature pop soundsin chrome-plated futurism, all while adding a dance-driven vibe channeling ELO, Barry Gibb,Wild Honey-era Beach Boys and Off The Wall-era Michael Jackson.FORHÅND 26.
