Caribou / カリブー - Swim / スイム

07年のアルバム『Andorra』がカナダの音楽賞「2008 Polaris Music Prize」を受賞したカナディアン・エレクトロニック・ミュージシャン Daniel Victor Snaith のプロジェクト、カリブーのニュー・アルバム。Born Ruffians の Luke Lalonde がゲスト参加。

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."
