Caribou’s ‘Sun’ rises

Given the title and the breezy, psychedelic vibe of Caribou‘s ‘Sun’, it would have been easy enough to turn out a trippy set of visuals (using kaleidoscopes, blurry Lomography, even lava lamps) that suited the music just fine. But Caribou and CIty Slang didn’t opt for “easy”.

Instead, director Simon Owens came up with a slow-motion spectacle of geriatric expressive dance that suddenly, inexplicably turns into a multi-racial, multi-generation rave. Someone, clearly, has been watching David Lynch…

In other Caribou news, his remix of the band Oh No Ono was released yesterday (along with further mixes from Efterklang, Higamos Hogamos, the Phenomenal Handclap Band, and others), just a week after his magisterial rework of Four Tet’s ‘Angel Echoes’. Check out embedded players for both releases after the jump.
