The remixed EP consisted of two remixes for the song Sunny’s Time, one by producer Kareem Ali and the other by Logic1000. Like I Loved You was mixed by India Jordan and Shanti Celeste produced the mix for Ravi. The remixed singles Sister and Never Come Back were however released 3 months ago and likely inspired Caribou to continue this mixed-up idea in the form of the EP that released today.

The album Suddenly was the Canadian-composer’s first released full-length album in 6 years and dealt with themes of the reality of love over an electronica dream-pop sound. Though mixed by various producers, tracks on the new remixed EP only enhance the neo-psychedelic/folk-tronica sound that the artist is so well-known for.

Caribou is critically acclaimed for his unique instrumentation on his various albums, beginning in 2005 with the break-out album The Milk of Human Kindness, and has been awarded multiple Polaris Music Prizes for his work. Suddenly, the Polaris Music Prize’s 2020 shortlist nominee, is now among the long list of his musical accomplishments.

The typical live concert for Caribou would include the performance musicians, Ryan Smith, Brad weber, John Schmersal and Snaith himself on percussion. A Caribou show is unique in that audience members are shown complex video projections on a very large screen behind the performers. The artist is known for these artistic projections and every music video that has been released has strictly been set to these.

Fans however were disappointed when Caribou was forced to announce this July that all 2020 UK tour dates were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic safety concerns. However, tickets bought for those shows will be valid for the rescheduled 2021 tour that will take place throughout the month of May next year.

It is currently unclear is Caribou will perform the new remixes and/or if it will include the original album tracks off Suddenly. The newest remixed EP is available today on all streaming platforms and videos with Caribou’s unique projections are available on YouTube today as well. Tickets are on sale for the upcoming UK Tour but fans are encouraged to purchase quickly as they are rapidly selling out.

Caribou UK and Paris Tour Dates:

06/05/2021 – L’Olympia – Paris, France

However, as the months wore on and the dreaded coronavirus worsened, Caribou had no choice but to be responsible and postpone his shows further. Caribou, real name Dan Snaith, will pick up the UK tour plans next year instead. Other 2021 performances confirmed for Caribou include music festivals Primavera Sound in Barcelona, BBK Lives in Bilbao, also in Spain, and NOS Alive in Portugal, all of which are scheduled for next summer.

Caribou released the news to their official Twitter account yesterday, to the great dismay of the musician’s expansive fanbase. The Odessa composer confirmed the last thing that his devoted fans wanted to hear, writing in a heartfelt statement that “unfortunately it’s clear we have to reschedule our UK + Paris tour dates again. Caribou continued on to say that: “Like all of you, we want nothing more than to gather and enjoy live music again, but clearly we have to wait until it’s safe to do so.” One fortunate piece of news, though, is tickets previously purchased by fans will remain valid for Caribou’s 2021 tour and will roll over to next year free of charge. 

Last month, Caribou revealed some fresh new remixes of their hit tracks, Never Come Back and Sister. Mixed by the talented electronic musician, Floating Points, the Rabbit Hole hitmaker shared the news with his 44,000 Instagram followers. Featuring animated designs by graphic designer Matthew Cooper, colourful shapes move to Caribou in a hypnotic fashion. Caribou wrote on the 30th June: “Out now: not one, but two amazing remixes from Sam @floatingpoints.” Obtaining over 10,000 likes and views, the post was met with an excited response from fans. 

A composer, recording artist and producer, sonic triple threat Caribou burst on the scene in 2001 with their memorable debut album, Start Breaking My Heart. Snaith initially began his career under the moniker Manitoba, but following a lawsuit, changed from Manitoba to their current name. 

Since then, the production wizard has put out six sensational studio albums, their most recent being Suddenly, that dropped February of this year. Consisting of encapsulating synthes and soft vocals with a psychedelic twist, the twelve-track record is a calming body of work that, yet it still contains that Caribou kick. Containing widely different tracks like Home, New Jade and Filtered Grand Piano Suddenly is a divergent new spin on an artist that always delivers. 

Dates for Caribou’s 2021 UK and Paris tour are as follows:

06/05/2021 – L’Olympia – Paris – France
08/05 – The Invisible Wind Factory – Liverpool
09/05 – The O2 Academy – Birmingham
10/05 – The O2 Academy – Brixton – London
11/05 – The O2 Academy – Bristol
12/05 – Barrowland – Glasgow
13/05 – The O2 Academy – Leeds
14/05 – Academy 1 – Manchester
16/05 – The Dome – Brighton

Suddenly by Caribou is out now.
