Hey everyone,

I’m sorry for the long silence. I’ve been busy making music for a new Caribou album which I’m really excited about.

I’ve just added some summer festivals and DJ sets to our Live Dates. Hope to see you there!

In particular, the Flaming Lips have invited us to play at their ATP New York festival on September 13th. We’ve put together a special 14-piece band, named Caribou Vibration Ensemble, to play this show and a show at the Opera House in Toronto on Sept 10th.

Caribou Vibration Ensemble features Kieran Hebden (Four Tet, Fridge, Kieran Hebden & Steve Reid), Koushik (Stones Throw Records), John Schmersal (Enon, Brainiac), Kathryn Bint (One Little Plane), Ahmed Gallab (Sinkane), a four piece horn section, choir, four drummers, etc.

In addition, for the ATP show only, we will be joined by MARSHALL ALLEN, Sun Ra Arkestra leader and Arkestra member for over 50 years!

At both shows we will be playing new and old Caribou songs reworked to make the most of this special line-up.

Also I’ve just done a remix of Cortney Tidwell’s track ‘Watusii’ under the name Daphni. It’s out on City Slang shortly.

Finally, Andy Lloyd who has played bass with us these last couple years is unfortunately not going to be playing with us in the future (apart from the Caribou Vibration Ensemble shows) as he’s now touring with our friends Born Ruffians. Andy is a dear friend and a great musician and will be sorely missed but we are very lucky that John Schmersal (Enon, Brainiac) will be joining Caribou and playing bass and singing with us from now on – starting with the upcoming shows this summer.

I think that’s it for now. As always, apologies to everyone whose emails I have taken an eternity to reply to. Hope to see you at a show,

Dan

So... after doing 200 concerts over the last year we're finally finished touring for a while. Thank you so much to everyone who came out and saw us - so many amazing concerts and memories. It's been a fantastic year! Now I'm eager to get back to making some new music.

Also, we've just found 5 more videos from the Pink Room Sessions recorded in 2007 which we've put up on this site and our YouTube page. Hope you like!

See you in a while and thanks,

Dan, Ryan, Brad and Andy.

We're about to head off on tour for a month which will see us playing in the United States, Switzerland, Taiwan, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Germany, France, Belgium, England and Wales. These will be the last concerts we'll be playing for quite a long time while I get back to making some new music so hope to see you there!

I feel really lucky that Andorra has been included in a great shortlist of albums for the Polaris Prize for Canadian albums released in 2007. See the list of albums which have been nominated here.

Last but not least, Video Marsh, the team behind the beautiful video for Irene have made another great video for Hummingbird - off the 2007 Tour CD - which you can see here.

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us at gigs and festivals recently and hope to see some of you at our upcoming shows,

Dan

After weeks of recovery from his recent fractured wrist we're all happy to have Brad Weber back in full health on the drums. In the meantime we want to thank Ahmed Gallab for stepping in in Brad's place - it was a pleasure playing with and getting to know Ahmed.

Hope to see you at a festival this summer. More dates to be added soon...

Following an unfortunate accident a couple days ago in Washington, DC where our drummer Brad Weber fell from a ladder and fractured his wrist in two places, we have resumed our North American tour with the help of Sinkane drummer Ahmed Gallab. Our sincere apologies for the Washinton, DC and Charlottesville, VA shows we had to cancel. We had a crazy couple days of looking for a new drummer and then rehearsing with Ahmed who has been working hard to fill the sizeable hole left by Brad’s injury. He is doing so very capably indeed and we are now back on tour. Our thanks to Ahmed and best wishes for Brad to get well soon.

We have added a second early show at the Empty Bottle on Apr 11^th. Hope you can make it out.

Our current upcoming tour dates are listed on this page but stay tuned as there are lots of festivals to add over the Summer.

Thanks for coming out to see us,

Dan

Merge will be releasing the She’s The One single digitally on March 25th complete with fantastic Hot Chip and Kelley Polar mixes!
