CARIBOU – The Milk of Human Kindness

LP – Limited Edition Black Vinyl
(*Only 1000 copies repressed worldwide. Includes download code.)

The Milk of Human Kindness is a 2005 album by Caribou. Caribou is the performing name of Dan Snaith who was previously known as Manitoba until he was forced to change it after a threat of a lawsuit by American punk musician Handsome Dick Manitoba of The Dictators. The first thing you notice about The Milk of Human Kindness is the emotional depth and range. The bear masks are off, the naked passions are running free. Like a lost album that’s just been rediscovered in a basement for the first time since 1973, it’s part reflective, campfire-comedown, part rampage of sonic discovery, reveling in energy and motion. Rather than a rainbow blur, the album’s sounds are distinctive and dynamic. From the carnival-esque whirl of ridiculous melodies, effusive noise, stampeding beats and furiously harmonised vocals of first single Yeti, then veering from insanely loud and aggressive bursts (Hands First), to military tattoos, unexpected showers of Indian bells (Brahminy Kite), and almost renaissance-style hip-hop laced with blissful piano melodies (Lord Leopard, Pelican Narrows), free-spirited musical abandon abounds.
