Caribou Returns With New Song “Home”: Listen
Dan Snaith has shared his first new song under his Caribou moniker in five years. It’s called “Home,” and you can hear it below (via Merge).
“I’m always listening to lots of music and sometimes a loop just jumps out at me—it’s too perfect,” Dan Snaith said in a statement. “That’s how it was with Gloria Barnes’ ‘Home’—I kept returning to it, meaning to do something with it but not knowing what. Sometimes making music feels like a process I'm in charge of... but there are other times when things just present themselves and my job is to follow their lead. It wasn’t until the circumstances of someone close to me mirrored the refrain of the original song that the track all came together.”
Snaith continued, “When I’ve played it to friends, several of them have said that they feel like it’s speaking to their circumstances, about people close to them. We’ve all had moments when something changes suddenly and catalyses a change in your whole life—when you need to go back to something familiar, pick up the pieces and start again.”
Caribou’s last studio album was 2014’s Our Love. Since then, he’s released his 2017 Daphni album Joli Mai, as well as this year’s Sizzling EP.
