Caribou announces new album 'Honey', shares new single "Come Find Me"

Electronic music producer Caribou (aka Dan Snaith) has announced a brand new record: Honey, out October 4 via Merge. Snaith has also shared a brand new song, "Come Find Me", along with a video directed by Richard Kenworthy. You can watch/listen here:

Honey's official announcement follows several well-received singles Snaith has released this year ("Broke My Heart", "Volume", and the title track) which will all be present in the tracklist.

Of the new track, Snaith says:

“I love this kind of chord sequence and the sort of French touch type of vibe, but it took a lot of time to find the right vocal hook and breakdown and make it more pop and concise. When I play that one in DJ sets, when it drops down to just the singing and then suddenly it’s a song that surges back in—I know for a fact no one in the crowd has heard it before, and yet people always respond in this really emotionally charged, euphoric way… That's always the best litmus test that a track has come together in the right way.

In the fall, Snaith will embark on a tour of the US and Canada, beginning in Vancouver on November 8; before that, though, he will play a few shows abroad in Ireland, Japan, and the Netherlands. Next year, he'll take Caribou through the UK.

On the US and Canadian dates, Snaith will be joined by Yunè Pinku and Joy Orbison. For the '25 UK dates, he'll be with Ela Minus.

Of the new album itself (which follows 2022's Suddenly), Snaith says:

One thing that hasn’t changed for me from the very beginning is a manic curiosity of seeing what I can make out of sound. Not so much what someone can make out of sound—a ‘professional’ with a host of collaborators and resources at their disposal—but me in my little basement studio. There’s more equipment in here than there used to be, but essentially it’s the same as ever: still chasing that thrill of when something hits really hard, and I find myself jumping up and down or the hairs standing up on my arms in excitement. How lucky am I that that’s never gone away? That the chance of making something new and exciting is still as exhilarating as ever, and as much fun as ever? Starting the day with nothing (and finishing most days with nothing good) but occasionally having something that didn’t exist before stuck in my head by the end of the day. It still seems like a kind of alchemy."
