A CARIBOU IN THEORY: Dan Snaith, sans matching clothes

Dan "Caribou" Snaith, maker of the lovely new album Andorra and its accompanying single, the amazing "Melody Day," is coming to the Earl on Friday, Oct. 12. Caribou, formerly known as Manitoba, is one of the more consistent artists of this decade, and Andorra marks his third dream-pop triumph, following the also excellent Up in Flames and The Milk of Human Kindness.
The last time Caribou played here was in an opening slot for Super Furry Animals at the Loft. I got to the show late and missed his set, but was subsequently told by several people that he put on a good performance. Here's hoping for similar results.
