Caribou’s time has come at last
CARIBOU’S Dan Snaith has a high forehead, sometimes wears large spectacles, and portrays the jittery disposition of someone juggling 15 thoughts at once. He is exceedingly intelligent — from a long line of intellectual over-achievers, he holds a PhD in mathematics.
Instead of academia, he chose a career that, in small town Canada, was a little wayward: cult electronic artist and DJ. It’s a rewarding lifestyle, but riven with uncertainty (electronic music is at the mercy of fashion whims and youth trends). Does he regret not taking the safer path, following in the footsteps of his professor father.
