Listing added by jackorange for the gig at Corsica Studios in London.

We are pleased to announce CARIBOU is back, bringing his euphoric music to Corsica studios where he and a full band will play a live set on Tuesday 20th April. After a three-year gap since his last release ‘Andorra’ Dan Snaith AKA Caribou will play in support of the greatly anticipated album ‘Swim’ released on the show day.
Snaith described the album's sound thusly: "I got excited by the idea of making dance music that's liquid in the way it flows back and forth, the sounds slosh around in pitch, timbre, pan... Dance music that sounds like it's made out of water, rather than made out of metallic stuff like most dance music does.
The new single release ‘Odessa’ has been receiving 8/10 reviews, and a "best new music" review from Pitchfork.
This year we will see a dramatic difference in the Caribou live performance. Now that technology has finally caught up to Dan’s ambitions for the band’s show, while it will still be four musicians on stage, the dynamic interplay between visuals, electronics and the live sound will be taken to the next level.
NEW ALBUM SWIM will be released on the show day, 20 April 2010 and if you think you know Caribou, think again. Dan Snaith’s new album is the sound of the musical glass ceiling being blown away.
Swim is full of brightly textured, rapturous gems that gleam with astonishing production – and then wrenches at your heart with soulful, thoughtful reveries on the passing of time, family history and the breakdown of relationships. “There are songs about growing old in a relationship, about divorce and loneliness in old age but the lyrics are generally pretty abstract sketches of what’s going on in the situation in my head.”
We can’t think of another multi-instrumentalist/ producer/ songwriter/ singer/ arranger/ composer who has the ability to harness all these talents into something as breathtakingly gorgeous yet dance floor ready as Dan Snaith AKA Caribou.
