Ah, blog post two of my lovely little affair with "Nu Gaze", but I like calling it Post-Radiohead better.
Justification: even though Radiohead is still dishing out fantastic albums, I feel like their sound has influenced a whole new generation of alternative/indie rock.
Today, I present Caribou, the one man band consisting of Daniel Victor Snaith (smooches, Wikipedia >_>). As I continue to explore bands related to Post Radi...I mean Nu Gaze, I keep running into a wall of psychedelic pop. I feel like Caribou creates a beautiful little noise rock sundae, with a psychedelic cherry on top and a electronic chocolate topping (work with me here, people). I downloaded the album "Andorra" which has an overall wonderful sound; everything flows nicely together and each song maintains a relatively ambient attitude. I especially enjoy his incorporation of flutes into songs, as well as more experimental noises.
The Bottom Line:
If you're looking for some great background tunes to start relaxin' like a Saxon to, Caribou is a good place to go.
My Pick for Caribou
"Melody Day"
Love,
Danielle
P.S. Tune in next time for PSYCHEDELIC POP
