Caribou: Odessa.

I first discovered Caribou in 2007, after hearing "Melody Day" on an eclectic mix a friend had lovingly put together for me. The CD in question was soon banished to the bottom of the pile, and let's face it: music programmes such as Spotify soon diminished my needs for a CD collection. However, much to my joy, I came across their most recent offering, "Odessa", whilst trawling through various tracks on YouTube.

"Odessa" is a psychedelic mix of instruments and sounds. Teamed with the soft vocals of Daniel Snaith, it's a track that entices you to listen further. It's almost disorientating, and with each listen you're able to notice something else; whether it's another instrument or jungle like sound.

With a solid beat and a hint of house, "Odessa" is intriguing and somewhat takes you over, leading you to the dance floor in a drunken haze. Although perhaps very different from their previous tracks, Caribou have pulled through with this majestic number.
