Dan Snaith will return, on October 4, with Honey, his first Caribou record since 2020’s Suddenly. The album, released by Merge, includes recent singles “Volume,” “Honey,” and “Broke My Heart,” as well as a new one, “Come Find Me,” which you can hear below. It comes with a video in which a dancer in a comically big Dan Snaith mask dances around London, to the bemusement of passers-by (including Snaith himself).
In a press release, Snaith said of the new song, “I love this kind of chord sequence and the sort of French touch type of vibe, but it took a lot of time to find the right vocal hook and breakdown and make it more pop and concise. When I play that one in DJ sets, when it drops down to just the singing and then suddenly it’s a song that surges back in—I know for a fact no one in the crowd has heard it before, and yet people always respond in this really emotionally charged, euphoric way.… Thats always the best litmus test that a track has come together in the right way.”
He added of the album:
One thing that hasn’t changed for me from the very beginning is a manic curiosity of seeing what I can make out of sound. Not so much what someone can make out of sound—a “professional” with a host of collaborators and resources at their disposal—but me in my little basement studio. There’s more equipment in here than there used to be, but essentially it’s the same as ever: still chasing that thrill of when something hits really hard, and I find myself jumping up and down or the hairs standing up on my arms in excitement. How lucky am I that that’s never gone away? That the chance of making something new and exciting is still as exhilarating as ever, and as much fun as ever? Starting the day with nothing (and finishing most days with nothing good) but occasionally having something that didn’t exist before stuck in my head by the end of the day. It still seems like a kind of alchemy.
