Wednesday 21st May, Edinburgh Cabaret Voltaire: Caribou / Born Ruffians (tickets)
Caribou
The artist formerly known as Manitoba is the remarkable work of one man, Dan Snaith, who as his name suggests originates from the wilds of Canada. Cinematic soundscapes are only part of what Carnegie Hall audioences can expect,as Snaith tours with a full band featuring additional percussion and some legendary projections. Ambient it's not - expect a lively yet mesmerising set.
The Toronto-based three-piece perhaps go against the stereotype of Warp Records of old - guitar bass and drums combine to make for a very 'now' sound- albeit one you can still dance to.
