Caribou

Caribou’s going to be hitting the dance tents at Sasquatch on Sunday, but a dark and sweaty club is a more appropriate venue for Daniel Snaith’s smooth and sensual new album, Swim. Snaith told me that Swim was written with a nightclub setting in mind – and true enough, the songs pulse with reverberating rhythms and a sexy finesse Caribou’s meticulous live sets—featuring a live band in which Snaith busily switching from lead guitar to keyboards to drums—is said to be supposed to be a mesmerizing. The opportunity to see him twice in one week in two different settings is a rare one. With Toro Y Moi. ERIN K. THOMPSON
