CARIBOU makes decade-long awaited return to Perth!
Following on from the recent announcements of Honey, the brand new album for Caribou PLUS his appearance at New Years Eve festival Lost Paradise festival comes the news that the full four piece ensemble that is Caribou live, will perform their first Australian tour since 2022 including their first Perth and Adelaide stopovers since 2015!
The Perth show at Fremantle Arts Centre includes special guests:
Bad Whip (live)
Rok Riley (DJ)
Ben Taaffe (DJ)
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 aka Dan 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:
“I’m 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.” - Dn
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. The upcoming Australian tour will do the same.
