The Ontarian Dan Snaith takes on several personas, and it is in that of Caribou – although the aliases Daphni and Manitoba are not far away – that he presents his new music to us, the excellent album Honey. Twelve pieces emerge that promise to thrill the swarms of night owl dancers. We indeed find, in this album, the ability of the internationally successful musician to transcend electronic sounds to create, thanks to elements borrowed from pop and disco, pure joy. Dear Life is the perfect illustration of this: the energy of the title instantly summons euphoria and crystallizes a certain desire to escape a daily life tarnished, on a large scale, by so much cruelty and distress. In short, Dan Snaith does Dan Snaith and propels us straight into his constantly evolving multidimensional universe, where the past, present and future converse. Do Without Youon Honeywould it be the answer to Can’t Do Without YouofOur Lovea decade later?
