WesM.Aug 15, 2008Elliott Smith's '60s sensibility/melancholia meets Four Tet experimental/electronica that somehow results in a synthesis both listenable and re-listenable.

PaulH.Jun 16, 2008Extremely original sound by Dan Snaith...sophisticated harmonies, electronics and blend of vibrant sounds. Caribou gets stronger with every album.

BenM.Oct 30, 2007"Melody Day" is definitely one of my favorite songs of the year, but after track one, I just kind of lose interest. There's a few more good songs on here, but I thought this was finally going to be the album where I fully came around on Caribou. I still respect the guy and his production skills very much, and his albums all sound really great...but I'll have to try again next time.

SamHOct 18, 2007This is an amazing, lush recording full of majestic psychedelia. Seeing them play live for this tour also changed my life. Can't stop listening to "After Hours."

stevec.Oct 18, 2007unusual combination of dreamy 60s vocals and some electronica... must say i probably the more elctro modern styles of the 2nd half - worth getting.

johnh.Sep 1, 2007This is quite simply one of the best albums i have heard this year. The overall mood of the album is mesmerizing and psychedelic. Each melody is buried in a beautiful and lush atmosphere of strange sounds. Despite the wide arrange of sounds used, the production never becomes over the top or melodramatic. All in all, this is the best Caribou album yet.

JRMEAug 28, 2007Hey AD D, you want verse/chorus/verse/chorus? listen to the radio. That's not what Caribou does.

CaseyAug 27, 2007I know we all know this by reading ADD's overtly retarded review but I just wanted to state for the record that hes also a fucking musical idiot. But as I said we all knew that. Fantastic new record from my absolute favorite musical artist for over two years. Snaith never disappoints.

Andorra may be a bedroom record, but it certainly doesn't sound like a bedroom record; it has the energy and intensity of group participation, and that makes it Snaith's best yet.

Consumed in a busy lounge or with a pair of headphones, this set is a safe bet for any listener.

As a Caribou album, this is mediocre. Not bad, but it's not much of a Caribou album anyway.
