The Milk of Human Kindness

Caribou

A dusty, psychedelic blend of live percussion and analog warmth. It feels like a walk through a haunted forest where the trees are made of magnetic tape.

April 18, 2005 · Not On Label (Caribou Self-released)

Find on Amazon

A hazy, nostalgic journey through a sun-dappled but slightly eerie woodland landscape.

Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, distorted drum break that anchors the opening of Yeti, clashing beautifully with the airy vocals.
The sudden transition from the glitchy interlude of Subotnick into the sprawling, hypnotic build of A Final Warning.
The way the flute melody in Bees feels like it is being played through a decaying transistor radio.
