Best of 2014 #4: Caribou - Our Love (Merge)

Another artist whose work I love, Caribou was finally back in 2014 with new music. Dan Snaith, the musician and mathematician behind Caribou gave is a nice slab of electronic in his brief hiatus from the Caribou name, under the name of Daphni in 2012. Caribou's last album, Swim, was one of my favourites back in 2010, and it was a psychedelic-splash pop-electronica album. Our Love is much in the poppy electronic style, but there's more of a deliberate attempt at pushing into spacy electronics on this album. The pop styles are still there, with most of the songs being quite short. No long meanderings on this album. The first single off this album was released in the summer, months before the album, and it quickly became an anthem of 2014. Here's that single, "Can't Do Without You":
