This track kind of blew up recently and for good reason. So you may have heard it already, but I do love this music video which you may not have seen. Also, Caribou's new album Swim just dropped on 4/20. Something of a new direction for Caribou, who I previously loved for the electro psych-rock vibes of "Melody Days" off Andorra (2007). That track is still available for listen on the MySpace. With "Odessa" and Swim though, Caribou has struck out in a new direction. Eschewing the 60's and 70's sounds of Andorra in favor of something more modern, the vocals in "Odessa" hark on Chromeo, but the melody and instrumentation never tries for that disco vibe. Nonetheless, "Odessa" is running away with the prize for the dirtiest dance beat of the summer. This album establishes Dan Snaith (Caribou) as a true heavyweight in the electronic scene, proving that he can probably do just about anything. Anyways, check out the video and pick up the new album.
