Canadian-bred electronic composer Dan Snaith, or Caribou as he's known to music press, recently released his seventh album (the celebrated "Our Love") earlier this year to much-deserved accolades. Snaith's earlier work however, is also finally reaching a wider audience- thanks to a vibrant reissue of his debut album Start Breaking My Heart. Originally released in 2001 under his initial moniker "Manitoba" (he was forced to change it after former Dictators lead singer Richard "Handsome Dick" Manitoba threatened a law suit), Heart is a pensive and melancholic ride through light organic instrumentation and Boards Of Canada-tinged synths. The results are smooth hybrid of glitched electronics and effortless jazz tangents that could easily intrigue both the most hard-nosed Verve Records aficionado or a chill-room dance recluse.
The rebranded reissue is a noteworthy companion piece to this years "Our Love", featuring an additional disc of nearly an album's-worth of material from his earlier works. Since this breakthrough 2001 release, Snaith has received numerous awards including the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and a Juno Award for 2011's "Swim", and he continues to produce breathtaking sonic works in a modestly prolific pace.
