From Heat, Emerges Caribou

Daniel Snaiths 2010 effort Swim saw the Soundster dissect the blocky and dense sound of club culture, from dubstep to trance while imbuing a sense of introspection that his servicably melodic bleat of a voice was uncomfortably pushed to the forefront of the mix amid submerged basslines and athletic synths. Up In Flames plays out nothing like Swim.

Swathed in coats of guitars and layers of fleeting electronic pulses, Up In Flames finds Caribou (then, under moniker as Manitoba) perfecting a sound that included strains of psychadelia and post-Kid A electronics all serviced in such gaiety, that all ten tracks prove to be a replayable, wonderfully labarynthine jaunt with Kid A's electro-rock crossover appeal.

The anchor of the records jovial heart is the sheer propulsiveness of the drums that often overtake the crescendos of electronics that build up like hungry flames and die down in earnest ash as the immensity of the beats reinforce songs such as Bijoux and Twins with such manic glee that the hybridization of electronic and instrumentation become complimentary. Snaiths voice, as on opener I've Lived On a Dirt Road All My Life, assumes a melodic lilt throughout the record until it becomes an instrument in nostalgia and ultimately another pitch-shifted electronic.

Tracks bleed into eachother with feverish abandon, lending such cohesion as to suggest Up In Flames another complex ecosystem of soundscape, so inviting, vivacious and never overwhelming that it proves to be a timeless sketch of hybridity. All 39:02 of immersion into indie-electro synthesis, some whirring, everlasting totality that can be summoned at the click of an Ipod or computer with the willingness and warmth of a finger. Like the marriage of will between man and machine, perfected, and dependent.

not new

this is just manitoba's up in flames under his new name caribou. some punker "legend" made him change his name cuz he had dibs on it. retarded. who new you could trademark a canadian province? good album.

Years Active: '00s, '10s

Dan Snaith's early recordings as Manitoba underlined his status among the chattering electronic classes as one of the brightest talents to emerge during the early 2000s. Having already proved himself master of the sublime with his 2000 debut EP, People Eating Fruit, the Canadian's subsequent Paul's Birthday EP opened him out even further. After moving to London, he released an excellent second album, Up in Flames (2003), that saw him become a darling of critics. One year later, however, Snaith was...
