It's been far too long since we last heard from Daphni (another alias of Dan Snaith, aka Caribou), the Canadian electronic producer behind some of the most memorable melodic techno/house hits of the last decade, from Sun to Odessa. Recorded over a period of several years whilst he was renewing his studio, this new album sounds like a collection of test hits. The producer lines up 14 vignettes, most of which last two to three minutes and range from Balkan swing ('Always There') and ghetto house (Mania) to disco, house and electronica. Fortunately, Daphni let some tracks tell their full story, like the two singles 'Cherry and 'Cloud', while the final track 'Fly Away' sounds like it could equal the success of 'Can't Do Without You' before its momentum is slowed right down.
