Caribou: Our Love (Expanded Edition)

“The mid-song break down on the title track is still one of my favourite musical moments from recent memory.”

Our Love was easily one of my favourite releases from last year, perfectly combining a multitude of genres and sounds into a cohesive and polished record.

Coming off an amazing showing at Laneway festival, Caribou has re-issued last year’s record with a slew of newly commissioned remixes added into the package.

The album itself tones down Caribou’s usual bombastic percussion for something far more nuanced. Elements of house and ’90s dub music sneak into tracks like a surprise rave party. The mid-song break down on the title track is still one of my favourite musical moments from recent memory. 

The additional remixes don’t bring anything particularly exciting to the table, tending to be more of the ‘slightly different 10 minute dance mix’ variety than anything else.

In any case, this is an album that deserves to be a part of everyone’s collection.
