"The Milk of Human Kindness," Caribou

Dan Snaith is the one man wonder that was Manitoba- 2003's "Up In Flames" was a mammoth exhibition of blistering grace that catapulted to the top of many prestigious best of lists for the year. Shortly after being sued for copyright infringement over the use of the name, Manitoba, Snaith changed the name of his outfit to Caribou. The first full-length offering is "The Milk of Human Kindness" and although the name may be different, the sounds here are definitively Manitoba. Even though some hints of "Up in Flames" can be heard, this release is yet another step in the evolution of Snaith's sound- a merging of 60's psychedelic pop, 70's krautrock, late 80's - early 90's dreampop and then some. This is by far Snaith's most ambitious release. -- Alex Slawson and Herman Snell
