Caribou - Honey
City Slang
A hi-NRG sonic shift from downtempo dream pop to a buoyant blend of hip house, speed garage and techno, all pulling from Snaith's well-experienced club eras.
Who
Canadian producer Dan Snaith steps back into his much-loved Caribou project adopting his most playful persona yet, leaning into the funkier side of his versatile scenescapes. A welcome new phase for the accomplished DJ's production style capturing his search for creativity and pursuit of peak dance floor moments. Expect this sound to be perfectly executed by the Caribou live band of Dan, Ryan Smith, Brad Weber and John Schmersal.
What
A pivot to pop achieving elevated dance floor euphoria. Honey is very much an album of the digital age, with 12 rolling dance tracks inflected with Snaith's AI-aided vocals. Delivering those addictive rhythmic vocal hooks Honey provides its listeners romance, emotion, and joy, typical of what many electronic music lovers of this generation seek on the dance floor.
