Dan Snaith aka Caribou has today announced his new album Honey will be released on 4 October via City Slang. The album includes previously shared singles ‘Honey‘, ‘Broke My Heart‘ and ‘Volume‘ and today Snaith has also shared the Richard Kenworthy directed video for new single ‘Come Find Me’. Along with the announcement Snaith has also announced a four night live residency at London‘s The Waiting Room. A very special chance to see the band in the smallest UK venue they’ve ever played, tickets will be available for free via a lottery starting on 29 August at 10AM BST via Caribou’s Instagram.
Speaking of the single Snaith says:
“I love this kind of chord sequence and the sort of French touch type of vibe but it took a lot of time to find the right vocal hook and breakdown and make it more pop and concise. When I play that one in DJ sets, when it drops down to just the singing and then suddenly it’s a song that surges back in – I know for a fact no one in the crowd has heard it before and yet people always respond in this really emotionally charged, euphoric way… that’s always the best litmus test that a track has come together in the right way.”
The follow up to 2020’s Suddenly (“Perfectly imperfect pop” 5/5 The Guardian ‘Album of the Week’), Honey arrives as an intriguing new kind of Caribou record. After putting every ounce of himself into 2014’s Grammy-nominated Our Love and Suddenly, for his sixth Caribou album Snaith now pulls himself away a little in search of music that isn’t about any one person and is available to everybody. A record that grabs you and moves you like his other alter-ego Daphni, before cradling and uplifting you like Caribou. Huge dancefloor tracks twinkle, shimmer and surprise in a way only Snaith’s productions can but with a freshness that defines an artist who is too excited by music-making to ever truly settle into any one sound.
In the words of Snaith himself:
“One thing that hasn’t changed for me from the very beginning is a manic curiosity of seeing what I can make out of sound. Not so much what someone can make out of sound – a ‘professional’ with a host of collaborators and resources at their disposal, but me.. in my little basement studio. There’s more equipment in here than there used to be but essentially it’s the same as ever: still chasing that thrill of when something hits really hard and I find myself jumping up and down or the hairs standing up on my arms in excitement. How lucky am I that that’s never gone away? That the chance of making something new and exciting is still as exhilarating as ever. And as much fun as ever. Starting the day with nothing and (finishing most days with nothing good but occasionally…) having something that didn’t exist before stuck in my head by the end of the day. It still seems like a kind of alchemy.”
Snaith also recently announced a full UK tour for February 2025 which includes three nights at London’s The Roundhouse – all of which are sold out – as well as shows at Bristol Beacon and Leeds‘ O2 Academy and a number of shows throughout Europe. This November he will also embark on a US tour. Full dates and tickets can be found here.
