CARIBOU

Album: Suddenly

In this episode John links up with Caribou a.k.a. Dan Snaith, to breakdown how Suddenly –  his first release in five years – was written, recorded and produced.

Diving deep into his hard drive Dan treats us to a plethora of demo versions, track breakdowns and even plays us a few nuggets live. We get to hear the philosophy and stories behind creating his most personal album yet and discover how he reduced a monumental 900 ideas down to a single record.

Listen to hear the results of when Dan was let loose in Floating Points’ Studio, how leaving his internet browser open while recording provided a moment of compositional serendipity, and why the title of this podcast could well have been ‘Things I learned from Timberland’.

Songs Discussed: Magpie, Like I Love You, Sister
