In attesa di riabbracciarlo idealmente quando sarà in splendida apertura dei Radiohead , Dan Snaith aka Caribou , parla di quello che sarà il seguito di ‘Swim’ (uscito due anni fa) pronto probabilmente nel 2013. Ecco le sue impressioni rilasciate in una recentissima intervista “canadese”.

“I’ve been recording for several months, starting different sketches of songs and different ideas. The general process for me making an album is to record loads and loads of raw material bits of songs, a rhythmic element and not really work on finishing any of them; just collect loads of half-finished ideas for six months, and come back later on and see what sticks. So I’m still in that phase of collecting a large pool of raw material. It’s a stage that I really enjoy, ’cause it’s not like I’m feeling pressure to finish a particular thing I just want to throw out as many new ideas as possible and enjoy the process of making music. It’s the same thing that I always wanna do: I wanna make an album that’s a coherent statement, that sits together and that seems new and exciting to me. I realized over the years that if I try and do some particular thing, often that ends up backfiring. I end up doing something I don’t like. It’s easier for me to let my enthusiasm about music take the lead and point the direction of where things are going. I just feel lucky that after ten years, I’m as excited about making new music as I was, maybe even more so. So I just let that enthusiasm lead the way, and in the past that’s worked”.
