From its humble beginnings with the theft of a sampler gathering dust in his high school’s music department, Dan Snaith’s (aka Caribou) musical life has followed anything but a predictable trajectory.

As a studio project, Caribou is carried out by Snaith alone, but on tour the live band also consists of Ryan Smith, Brad Weber, and John Schmersal (of Vertical Scratchers). More than a decade of touring across the globe has cemented Caribou’s reputation as much for being a live band as a studio project.
