Caribou announces first album in five years with vibrant new track "You and I"
Caribou has announced his first album in five years, Suddenly, alongside revealing vibrant new track "You and I".
"You and I" is the second single from Dan Snaith, aka Caribou, in five years, after October's "Home".
Snaith says of the new track, ""You and I" was one of the first tracks on the album that I started and one of the last tracks I finished - it existed in some form or other throughout the whole arc of making the record. It also captures a lot of what the record, and the title of the album, are about - the track changes suddenly and unpredictably and it is about a change in my life that happened out of the blue."
Suddenly is the first Caribou album since 2014's Our Love. The album was created through over 900 demo tracks. Snaith says, "I record music every day, and I love it - as much or more than I have always done. I feel very lucky - the thrill has never, ever left me."
Discussing the process for Suddenly, Snaith adds, "For the last few albums at least, there's been a point about three quarters of the way through where I work late into the night (as usual) but when I try and go to bed, ideas keep forcing me to get up and go back to the studio again. It happens over and over in one night. I can feel the gears whirring as I lie there trying to sleep and I can't ignore the ideas for fear that it will be gone when I wake up the next morning."
