Also known as a mild-mannered Doctor of Mathematics, Dan Snaith has always made for an unlikely dance star. And yet, 20 years on from his debut release as Caribou, the Canadian musician continues to be utterly deserving of the title, responsible for soulful electronic joints that unite serious clubbers and 6music dads in their devotion.
Both tribes were present and correct at the Roundhouse last night, as Snaith embarked on the opening night of a three-date residency, booked to showcase his excellent new LP. Proving that artists and AI needn’t be at odds, 2024’s firmly dancefloor-focused Honey saw Snaith harnessing the emergent technology to augment his vocals, setting them to some of the most kinetic productions of his career.
