Teaser for the up-coming album on City Slang.
More

Dan Snaith's latest album, "Honey," marks an intriguing new phase for Caribou. Over more than two decades Dan Snaith has had many guises. After putting every ounce of himself into Our Love and Suddenly, for his sixth Caribou album Snaith now pulls himself away a little in search of music that isn’t about any one person and is available to everybody. Huge dancefloor tracks twinkle, shimmer and surprise in a way only Snaith’s productions can but with a freshness that defines an artist who is too excited by music-making to ever truly settle into any one sound.
There’s never been a Caribou record that sounds like the last, so change here is just as comforting as constant. They say expect the unexpected and you’ll never be surprised; well there’s plenty here to be surprised by, but then with a Caribou record you’d never expect anything less. "Honey" captures Snaith's curiosity and joy in music-making, offering a fresh yet quintessential Caribou experience.

In November 2022, GOLD PANDA released his long-awaited album "The Work". It includes the two singles "I've Felt Better (Than I Do Now)" & "Plastic Future". These were remixed by Gold Panda's friend and companion Daniel Avery and the one and only Skee Mask respectively.

On Side A, British techno producer Daniel Avery turned "I've Felt Better" on its head. With a perfect balance of light and shadow, it now races at top speed like a techno bullet train through a blizzard and a multitude of barren landscapes, while the listener sits in an empty wagon, safe from the threat of nature just inches away. On Side B, Skee Mask, the enigmatic versatile electronic producer gives 'Plastic Future' a totally new identity. Known for his rolling rhythms combined with electronic soundscapes, Skee Mask slams the breaks on this remix in a big way. It's a magic combination that begs the question how did it take these 2 producers so long to collaborate like this? A match made in heaven!

Side A: I've Felt Better (Daniel Avery Remix)
Side B: Plastic Future (Skee Mask Remix)

At Ohio’s Oberlin College in the early '90s, Morgan Geist spent most of his time cloistered in a dorm room studio, crafting what would become his early techno discography. Across the street at the conservatory, Kelley Polar skipped computer science classes to play Philip Glass and Hindemith, practicing eight hours a day and competing in international viola competitions. A handful of chance meetings occurred over the latest 12” arrivals at the college bookstore: Aphex Twin, Underground Resistance, LFO. The two would cross paths doing late-night shows at the college radio station.

After Oberlin, Kelley was living in NYC and attending the Juilliard School. By day, he was the teaching assistant of synthesizer pioneer Michael Czajkowski; nights were spent in an abandoned Williamsburg sweatshop, planning art happenings with his cousin (and future LCD Soundsystem member) Gavilán Russom. Morgan ran his Environ label from New Jersey. Since returning east, he had grown obsessed with tracing modern dance music back to its disco and boogie roots. In search of lush string arrangements to record, he tracked down Kelley, and before long they were creating what were to become some of Metro Area’s most iconic records: "Caught Up," "The Art of Hot," and "Miura." Morgan moved to NYC and co-produced Kelley’s two acclaimed electro-pop albums on Environ, and the pair eventually toured together, planning their itineraries around food destinations rather than festival dates.
While they remained close friends over the subsequent years, their creative endeavors branched off in ways they hadn’t anticipated. By the end of the 2010s, a remix of Morgan’s Storm Queen alias had knocked Rihanna & Eminem from the #1 spot in the UK pop charts. Kelley, now a twenty-year veteran of USIS State Department classical chamber music tours through conflict areas worldwide, has taught at the Moscow Conservatory and performed at the Kennedy Center. Madonna used one of his tracks for her MDNA tour. Perhaps most significantly, Kelley had grown tired of city life and decamped to the woods of New Hampshire. Despite the geographical distance, the pair kept talking about forming a band. Two of each other’s oldest friends, they had still never truly collaborated from scratch—as equal partners, writing new songs together.

That has finally changed. Morgan Geist and Kelley Polar are Au Suisse, a project borne of a long creative friendship, steeped in each member’s traditions, yet simultaneously naïve-sounding and undiscovered. Kelley’s penchant for a maximalist extreme shaped by Morgan’s immaculate production ear; Morgan’s curatorial prowess from years spent record digging and international DJing combined with Kelley’s deep exposure to five hundred years of the Western classical art music tradition. Guest players include friends and labelmates Dan Snaith (Caribou) and Jeremy Greenspan (Junior Boys).

“We had some vague ideas—mainly visual, or perhaps psychological—about what we wanted Au Suisse to be,” says Morgan. “There was a lot of talk about moods and how to establish them, about reverbs and echoes and ‘lonely’ sounds. Ironic, considering we started working just before the onset of the pandemic. But I think a prime motivator was trying to eschew the roles we both fell into in our prior working relationship. I wouldn’t be making things more dancefloor-friendly, and Kelley wouldn’t be doing huge string arrangements.”
This goal is evident in “Control,” the band’s debut single. Kelley’s soft-yet-crisp vocals evoke a lonely actor in the spotlight of an empty stage, the thump of drums absent until the song’s final explosions of sound. The ambiguity of the lyrics may provide the most tangible parallel to his earlier work: “The words are concrete and there’s definitely a narrative,” Kelley says, “but in my mind the story is vague: couple dynamics, or some sci-fi civilizational arc?” “I immediately thought it was about contemporary politics,” adds Morgan. “It's absolutely one of those songs where each listener gets their own read.”

“There’s musically and technically so much crossover between the two of us,” continues Morgan. “We each do the other's thing well enough that it was quite easy working together as partners. We're discovered we’re both capable of doing this stuff on our own, but it's far more inspirational doing it together. Getting the emotional balance right—that was the greatest challenge, and the most fun.” More

"There's a place for us scattered and uprooted peoples," says Sinkane mainman Ahmed Gallab, "a place we can all know as home, with elements of all our homes." That place, as it turns out, is Mars.
On one level, Mars is dense with deep, polyrhythmic grooves that hail directly to Africa; on another level, it's a 21st century party record that acknowledges the global music village in which we all now live. The music of Mars is kinetic, sexy and catchy. But at its core, it's one man's way of working through a very American story.
While elements of Mars come from all over the world, the album is very firmly rooted in a specific place: "This," Gallab says, "is very much a New York album." He met virtually everyone who appears on Mars within his first year of living in the Big Apple. But more to the point, Mars is the sound of someone figuring out how to exist in New York, as a stranger in a strange land - a feeling anyone can relate to anywhere.
That's why the album is called Mars. People use Mars to describe some place alien, weird, foreign, a place they don't understand. "It's where I feel like I am right now," says Gallab, "a desolate, tropical place filled with hope, ambition and love."
A formidable player on guitar, bass, keys and drums, Gallab is a virtual one-man band, playing at least four instruments on every track on Mars. But he enlists some top-flight musicians, like Twin Shadow, Yeasayer bassist Ira Wolf Tuton, former Shai Hulud guitarist Oliver Chapoy, members of Afrobeat band Nomo, and saxophonist/flautist stutzmcgee.

To celebrate the rerelease of the three classic to rococo rot records on City Slang between 1997 and 2001, we have asked two friends and fans to rework their favourite tracks of these albums.
Four Tet's Kieran Hebden chose the brooding minimal collage 'he loves me' from the bands 1997 archetypal release “veiculo“ and, like a prism in singular beam of light, his remix reveals the songs true glistening content. Mute label founder and longtime to rococo rot afficionado Daniel Miller teamed up with London based producer Gareth Jones to give 'cars', from the bands impeccable second album “the amateur view“, a compassionate modification into a ... well, let's call it a “Krautrock Disco Truck“.
The 12“ will be limited and only available for a short time.
