Caribou
Caribou is Canadian Dan Snaith (b. 1978), who formerly recorded under the moniker Manitoba. Known for altering his sound with each subsequent release, he incorporates electronic psychedelia, krautrock rhythms, and breakbeat drums and creates a swirling, lush, musical panorama. Snaith also creates more club-oriented dance music under the name Daphni.
Snaith grew up in Dundas, Ontario, Canada, which gave its name to a song from his debut album Start Breaking My Heart.

Snaith also creates more club-oriented dance music under the name Daphni.
Snaith grew up in Dundas, Ontario, Canada, which gave its name to a song from his debut album Start Breaking My Heart. He studied at the University of Toronto as an undergrad, but was based in the UK for several years until he completed his Ph.D. in mathematics at the Imperial College, London in 2005.
Snaith previously recorded under the stage name "Manitoba", but changed it under threat of a lawsuit by Handsome "Dick" Manitoba, frontman for The Dictators, a punk-rocker with an appetite for litigation. Uninterested in the legal stoush, Snaith is quoted saying that he chose the new moniker "Caribou" while on an LSD trip with friends in the Canadian wilderness. He then climbed a tree and didn't come down until he finished his first album under the new moniker, which was four months later.
He has recorded five full lengths: Start Breaking My Heart, a jazzy, "folktronica" IDM album, Up in Flames, the critically acclaimed shoegazer with analog synths and sometimes live, sometimes sampled drums, The Milk of Human Kindness, his krautrock-inspired album that bleeds 70's prog and 70's drugscapes, the psychedelic pop record, Andorra which landed him the prestigious 2008 Polaris Music Prize on September 29th, 2008 and Swim a disco / dance inspired album created from the idea of making dance music that sounds like being under water. A few years prior to the recording of the album, Snaith's wife gave him swimming lessons as a Christmas present, prompting him to take it up as a new hobby. This partially led to the eventual ideology behind Swim.
His eclectic live performances are renowned, in part for their use of simultaneous drummers and synchronised visuals. The live band currently consists of Dan Snaith (guitar, keyboards, vocals, drums, flutophone), Ryan Smith (guitar, keyboards), Brad Weber (drums) and John Schmersal (bass, vocals).

Odessa
by Caribou
Taking it slow, saving up she
Before she knows it, all I ask before she goes home
She's tired of cryin' and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life
Feeling low, and scared that he'll say
Do you know how over time you drove her away
Saving up for, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up
For everything that she chose
(She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what shes gonna say)
Saving up for, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up
For everything that she chose
Takin' the kids, drivin' away
Turn around the life she let him siphon away
And I've been with you, for all of these years
Tell you what I've got to show for all of my tears
The times you hurt me, and treated me wrong
Something had to give to stop this thing from going on
(She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what shes gonna say)
(She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what shes gonna say)
She's tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life
And feeling low, and scared that he'll say Do you know how over time you drove her away
