The album spans a vast sonic landscape across 12 tracks—playful, silly, and a bit kooky—layered with an array of AI-generated voices. Is this the formula for success?
While many musicians and producers detest the idea of using artificial intelligence to generate sounds and voices, Caribou uses the technology to make a leap forward. Much like Jeff Mills with his Roland 909 kick drum machine, Caribou taps into new musical potential for the 21st century.
The album has something for everyone. Pop heads will enjoy the catchiness of the songs, funk lovers will resonate greatly with the song Climbing, and electronic music nerds will appreciate the production intricacies.
It is tricky to put a finger on what exactly this album is, but one thing is certain: it will catch the attention of both younger and older generations. A 46-year-old producer brings the most cherished principles of dance music from the past and reshapes them to satisfy modern-day listeners.
Caribou’s extended tour starts in Tokyo on October 14th and continues throughout the globe until February 19th, with a final show in Berlin. Stay tuned for Caribou’s tour dates on his Instagram.
