Beautiful song and music video, but anyone else get the feeling that they don't go well together? I feel like this video is too "loud" for the song...Not complaining, though, just an observation.
if you like it now you just have have have absolutely have to see him on stage and there are no excuses. one of best gigs, if not the best, i've seen till today:) kicks ass like hell!
Just now. Was looking for photos of chemtrails for an upload and came across a nice one featuring Beck's song (Chemtrails). A lot of people complained that it sounded a lot like Caribou so I looked it up and this was the first song.
It certainly sounds like BJ. though I've read an unsourced statement claiming its "Bejae", the name of a girl he once new. Doesn't really matter either way.
A thing of wonder. And the fact that it wasn't played to death on the all pervading radio means that it keeps its freshness. Or am I wrong somewhere?! After all, Metal Guru, Paperback Writer and countless others were played to the Grim Reaper and back, and yet still retain their freshness, all these sunrises and sunsets later. Hmmm. This, though is sheer brilliance.
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was getting some food, listening to the local radio (mostly crap), and this came on. It just shocked us; it was like a breath of fresh air in our charred lungs. I looked up their other stuff, and although none of it pleased me, I still LOVE THIS SONG!!
love em. saw them perform at glasto this year, disappointingly fe to hear this uber talented band. but how lucky for us. we were in for a treat. they are superb live. Please come back to uk caribou!
yeah, check my favorites, the four tet remix is in it. a nice fellow called blythstyle used it for one of his (cool) videos. besides, this remix can be easily found for free download on the web
The guy on the left is much better in hammering he stake. The guy on the right is kinda all over the place, drives me nuts. He-he-he... obviously, I can't stop watching and listening to this song, I love it!

This is such an amazing video. For some reason, my favorite part about it is the two guys hitting the stake. It's cool how they managed to keep it in tune with the beat.
I know I'm going to get rawred at for saying this...
But I liked Caribou's earlier stuff better. the earlier stuff was more interesting because there was less singing (not that I don't like singing) and a wider use of intsruments/rhythmns...Then again I just suppose they changed their sound around to get a bigger fan base.
Why is it appropraite to assume that a more "accessible" sound is meant to grow one's fan base? What he's doing now requires a ton of maturity as a musician...granted anyone could make music of this new style but few could do it this well. Maybe he's just gotten more mature.
I don't know...I like his older and new stuff for different reasons.
he is constantly changing... all of his records incorporate electronic sounds in a different genre. He is known for that. Using pop as a palette is the sign of a good musician. I heart Caribou.
It was filmed on an island outside the mainland of Sweden, called Gotland. Not far away from where Ingmar Bergman lived and made some of his early movies.
youtube.com what have i done, humhumhumhum... can't get that song out of my head.
