Caribou‘s terrific 2014 album “Our Love” has just been given an expanded digital edition with seven remixes, including “Second Chance” by Cyril Hahn and two different versions of “Mars” by Head High, all of which can be heard below. Says Caribou’s Dan Snaith:
The Cyril Hahn remix is a beautiful ethereal slowed-down version of ‘Second Chance’ and came about in the way that many of my favorite remixes from this album did: Cyril made a bootleg mix from the album version which caught my attention and I loved it and sent him the parts to finish for the full released version…
…The Head High remixes illustrate the prowess of one of house and techno’s don’s – Germany’s René Pawlowitz aka Head High aka Shed aka Wax aka WK7 aka Evil Fred aka The Traveller aka Wax aka… I’ve been hammering Head High’s tunes in my DJ sets (alongside everyone else) for years. He’s infallible – almost inhumanly so. His tracks reliably pulverize everything in their path.
Full tracklist for the expanded Our Love is below.
Having played two sold out shows at Webster Hall last year, Caribou will be back in NYC during the warmer months to play a Summer Stage show. Caribou will be among the headlining acts at Latitude Festival

‘Our Love’ is the sixth studio album from Dan Snaith, aka Caribou. Following his small departure as Daphni, Snaith’s return completes a four year wait following the ever popular Swim. The single ‘Can’t do without you’ must be THE song of summer 2014! Other stand out moments ‘Silver’ and ‘All I Ever Need’ are equally as stunning, and this is a joy of an album from start to finish.
Like the artwork, the music on ‘Our Love’ is complex, layered and delightfully colourful. Each tapestry pulsates with a rich and warm beat and the album manages to hold a peculiar feeling of melancholia and optimism together. This allows the album to sit nicely in your headphones in solitary confinement but also not sound out of place in a group setting – ‘Our Love’ is both bedroom and dance-floor compatible.It’s a truly infectious record that demands successive listens. Instantly accessible but also rich in sound to maintain your interest. You will have a lot of ‘love’ for this record. Caribou fans should be delighted.
