Caribou offers this good-natured little taster of his forthcoming album, Swim(out April 16th). We’ve followed Dan Snaith ever since his he was known as Manitoba in the early 00′s. His last album in ’07, Andorra, showed the world that adding a Producer’s personal vocals to a project could actually be a good thing. It remained in heavy Mr. T rotation for some time, and even became popular with our friends who normally scoff at “electronic music”. On this track, the high refrain, bells, and bass line bring to mind the joyful days of roller skating parties. And after a day like today, you deserve an upbeat theme for the commute home.

Oh, I totally had those roller skates. If only I had them now I could go as a member of the Getalong Gang for Halloween.
Also, unrelated: Ryan, I know who you should be next Halloween. Start looking for a black leather duster.
