Caribou's Suddenly Remixes is out in the world today! The digital compilation collects 12 reworkings of tracks off Suddenly (now celebrating its first birthday) including three remixes by Toro y Moi, Jessy Lanza, and Prince Nifty that debut today. Previously released reinterpretations by Four Tet, Floating Points, Shanti Celeste, and others are available on 12-inch vinyl in the Merge store.

Along with today's release, Dan Snaith commissioned his longtime friend Richard Kenworthy (Shynola) to animate a visual to accompany the Toro y Moi remix of "Home."

Speaking of the Toro y Moi remix, Snaith says:

Chaz is an incredible musician fluent in seemingly every musical vocabulary but with a sensibility all his own. His remix is like an Alexander Calder mobile or a Kandinsky painting where the musical geometries of the original song circle each other in space.

Video director Kenworthy provides some details on his process:

When I first heard the mix, I was taken aback—he's pulled the song apart, laid all the bits on the floor, and made a minimalist sculpture out of little wiggly pieces. So, similarly, I want to strip this right back and focus on minute details by making a sort of scratch film—the kind of animation which got me interested in animation in the first place. The idea is that each day I would isolate a tiny fragment of the song and hand animate some little doodles by scratching into black. No preconceived end goal, just whatever occurs to me daily, so it has an improvised, freewheeling, dreamlike and fragmented quality. Just little weird details and evaporating thoughts. Little fleeting sketches.

All Caribou shows are currently being rescheduled for 2021, with dates and details to be announced soon. Updates will be listed on Caribou’s website.
