Free Music Notes for Andorra
Free Music Review: Brilliant, Beautiful Music
Hit: 5 Stars
This is undeniably one of the best records of the year in my view. This is a brilliant record filled with blissful 60's esque pop that never sounds boring or dated, but rather fresh and modern. I found myself impressed by Snaith's songwriting, harmonies, vocals and incredible production, smooth yet not overly glossy. it makes you feel like you're driving to the beach on a beautiful spring or summer day. All the songs are exellent, my favorites are "Melody Day", "Sandy", "After Hours" and "Sindialing". This record is an absolute gem, so at least give it a listen or two.Free Music Review: Best of 2007: Psychedelic goodness from Canada
Hit: 5 Stars
2007 seems to be quietly turning into another 2005 for Canadian music. The Besnard Lakes, Do make Say Think, Stars, The New Pornographers and Broken Social Scene's Kevin Drew have come out with new material... and then there's "Andorra" by Caribou, a production with a very psychedelic feel to it, which yields a super-stellar album when combined with Caribou's typical electronic experimentation.
There are moments when you feel you could be in front of Beck, but then you know it's not him. You then figure: it sounds a bit like The Besnard Lakes: perhaps, but still not there. I guess the easiest way to picture this album is: imagine how The Beach Boys would sound if blended with 1966-1967 Beatles experimentation, had they come to life in an age where digital audio production was available.
This was my introduction to Caribou... and made me feel like I owe it to myself to dig back in this guy's discography to find which other musical jewels I may be able to unearth. I will report back any findings. In the meantime, enjoy "Andorra".
Free Music Review: flourishes of glistening confectionary psych
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not familar with Snaith's previous output but I'll let my title suffice as the official review. Another recently released quality trip is REM Sleep Psych Mix by Dr. Delay, but you won't find it here.Free Music Review: again, caribou amazes
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a heck of an album. is it the best caribou has offered? maybe. but i don't stand with the criticism of the earlier albums. they aren't as immediately accessed, but yield an amazing array of really interesting sonic elements on repeated listens. this album will probably be the same way, i can't wait.Free Music Review: Utterly unexpected
Hit: 5 Stars
When I first heard about this album I was simply not enthralled because I thought I knew what Caribou was all about. I was wrong. This album is nothing short of amazing and the first reviewer captured it perfectly. Sandy, Eli, Irene, Melody Day are some of my favorites but basically every track was damn good. The sound in this record is different and I like it. This record is pure dope!
