For a special All Tomorrow's Parties NY performance, the Vibration Ensemble included every musician who has ever been a part of a Caribou live performance -- from frequent collaborators like John Schmersal (Enon, Brainiac) and Kieren Hebden (Four Tet), to the one-off special appearance of the legendary Marshall Allen (current leader of the Sun Ra Arkestra). All-in-all, the ensemble includes four drummers, a 5-piece horn section, and a choir to bring every thunder and peak of Carbou's music to vibrant life.

The lyrics of the song "Sun" by Caribou Vibration Ensemble refer to the repetition and circularity of life. The constant and consistent presence of the sun represents the eternal cycle of life and death, the continuous resurrection of nature and the universe. The word "Sun" is repeated over and over again throughout the song, suggesting an unbreakable and never-ending sense of renewal.
The song also has a hypnotic and trance-like quality, with repetitive and intricate drum patterns, guitar strums, and a haunting chorus. The layering of different rhythmic elements and musical textures creates a dense and complex sound, reinforcing the idea of the interconnection and interdependence of all things in nature.
In a way, "Sun" can be seen as a celebration of the cyclical and transformative nature of life, emphasizing the need for adaptation, growth, and the ability to let go of the past in order to move forward. The song's lyrics are simple and straightforward but with the repetition and variation of the word "Sun" throughout the song, it creates different meanings for different listeners.

Was in the crowd at this. Easily ten of the best minutes of my life. Pure joy.

Stunning.
Sketchy start, (I guess everyone was getting prepped for what was to come) but the vocals pulled it all together...
Then 3 mins in, it all goes off.
You can see people in the audience checking with each other.. 'is this really this good?'
'Yes, THIS is the best!'
And then it got better.
And then it got better.
I want me to be there next time.
Also, this confirms that drummers break maths.
1 + 1 = 2
This we know.
But now we learn:
1 drummer + 1 drummer > 2
And then it got better.
Awesome film. Thank you for making it.
