Caribou’s New Video for ‘Odessa’
March 15, 2010 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Music VideoFor the last 3 days I’ve been listening to the new Caribou album Swim pretty much non-stop. It’s kinda of a departure since his last album Andorra back in 2007 but it’s an absolute welcome change. I feel like he’s got this synthesis of LCD Soundsystem, Animal Collective and Junior Boys, but with a splash of Flaming Lips Embryonic weirdness as well.
This is the first song and first single off the album called Odessa which will definitely make some people instant fans. The video is a dreamy haze so watch it full screen to enjoy it completely. The video itself was directed by Video Marsh, who can you find out more about by clicking here.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.I have just discovered this album also, It is definitely addictive.
I like all of these things of which you speak. This album is on My List, must have soooooooon.
How in the world did you get this album already? Jealous.
Okay I would also like to know how you got this album. Apparently it doesn’t come out until April. The only problem with promoting albums that aren’t released yet is that it encourages people to get it in other ways. I hope everyone supports this great Canadian artist!
I hope to get tickets to his Vancouver show.
marsh not march
Thanks for the headsup!
Oh, and a cheeky link to a remix by Four Tet, just in case you haven’t heard it before. :)
