Caribou known to his mother as Dan Snaith, seems to be feeling pretty good these days.  

Our Love is Caribou’s sixth studio album, and his most life-affirming yet. It is psychedelia joining hands with R&B and dancing to EDM at some joyful rave. Influenced by his recent journey into parenthood, as well as an urge to create music people can dance to, Our Love delivers with 10 tracks of pure aural bliss.

Our Love begins with the banger “Can’t Do Without You”, a song one could imagine hearing on Daft Punk’s 2001 release Discovery. “Second Chance” features the feathery elegant vocals of Jessy Lanza giving us a sexy slow jam to break up the album, and songs like “Dive” and “Mars” seem sample-ready, laden with electronic ear worms.

One could say this is Caribou’s “coming out” album. Gone are the days of bedroom psychedelia; this is his most coherent and danceable record to date, putting down the head phones and getting back to that joyous rave.
