Start Breaking My Heart

by Caribou

supported by

Lovdahl, Ian one of the greatest. long live Manitoba Favorite track: Brandon.

Angel P. The most important Caribou record, period. I can only name a handful of albums that have had such a profound impact on me in how I perceive music, and this is one of them. Favorite track: Dundas, Ontario.

8times9 It's hard to express how much I love this album. Warbly synths blended with folk and nu jazz elements make for a pastoral electronic music experience akin to Four Tet's Pause. Favorite track: Brandon.

J. Dickey This album really needs to be experienced as a totality. I don't think this has any of the individual moments of his subsequent works, but all the building blocks are there. Math professor like approach to song writing, creative use of percussion, interesting variety of sounds and synths, and a heavy dose of psychedelic influence. Favorite track: Happy Ending.

vykinggoddess It is very relaxing Favorite track: Brandon.
