Caribou will play tracks from his latest critically acclaimed album ‘Suddenly’ for the first time in the UK. The album came out in February last year after five years of break. His two most successful records so far were ‘Swim’ from 2010 and ‘Our Love’ from 2014 which landed on UK Chart Top 10. In summer 2019 he released a dancefloor led EP ‘Sizzling’ under his other name, Daphni.
Caribou’s latest release gained great reviews, with The Guardian commenting: “‘Suddenly’ ended up somewhere exciting: in a niche of its own, where electronic auteur meets singer-songwriter, where an innate feel for pop music and the dancefloor co-exists with experimentation”. NME added in their review: “Snaith has found the perfect balance between intimate songwriting and extroverted sonic decisions”.
Tickets to Dreamland will be on sale on 21st May at 10am and can be purchase here. Doors to the event will be open from 6pm.
