Caribou's new LP, Andorra, will be released on August 20 through City Slang.
The follow-up to the much-loved The Milk Of Human Kindness, the album finds its maker, Dan Snaith, saying:
"Basically all the songs that I really love are 'lump in your throat' pop songs. I still can't really listen to 'This Will Be Our Year' by The Zombies because it turns me into a big cry-baby. But it's all about trying to recreate that feeling.
"Music either has that effect or it's bullshit I've decided in the last year. So I wanted no bullshit on this album. Turned out that was incredibly hard."
The nine-tracker is shaped like this:
'Melody Day' 'Sandy' 'After Hours' 'She's The One' 'Desiree' 'Eli' 'Sundialing' 'Irene' 'Niobe'
We're playing Andorra right now. Good, is what it sounds like. MySpace here.
