New Year and Caribou

Hi, hows it going, was your new years a raging dance party? Did you bust out some dance moves that emerged in a drunken stupor, blair all the classic party anthems of 2014, listen to a countdown or watch music videos on MTV and drink every time you saw someone dance on top of a school bus or twerk upside down? No matter what you did I hope it was one to remember. In terms of new music I have a ridiculously long waiting list of songs I need to post about, but rather than bombard you with it all at once, I'm going to be slowly resuscitating you back to life after your extreme hangovers over the next couple of weeks. Lets start with a artist feature to get you're 2015 off to a funky start shall we.

CARIBOU 

One of the best album releases of 2014 in my opinion, I had only heard a couple of the singles and have just recently gotten a chance to hear the whole LP from start to finish. 

I first heard of Caribou ( Dan Snaith) on Triple J radio then soon after found out he would be at Laneway this year. I knew there was quite a bit of hype about him so I got to researching and there is some serious vibes with this guy and the really easy to listen to, flowy electronic music he makes. Dan Snaith is no new name, he has been around since 2001 performing under a couple different stage names, Caribou since 2005. His last album as 'Caribou' was back in 2012 but he came back strong in October 2014 with 'Our Love'. 

The first time I heard the lead single "Can't Do Without You" I liked it but I wasn't completely sold enough to need in my iTunes, however when I revisited it later I was convinced and ended up downloading the entire album. Someone to watch in 2015.
