	Montreal Mirror : Music : Dan "Caribou" Snaith
		For a while, Dan Snaith's greatest fear was being forgotten.
		Despite having a solid case, Snaith was faced with a legal battle that promised to suck every resource he had.
		Dan Snaith: I had to think, did I really want to be in court with this guy for a year, wasting massive amounts of resources, including time and energy?

	Caribou, featuring Dan Snaith @ South Street, Reading
		Snaith's early recordings as Manitoba underlined his status among the chattering electronic classes as one of the brightest talents to emerge during the early 2000s.
		One year later, however, Snaith was forced to give up the name Manitoba after Dictators frontman Handsome Dick Manitoba sued for trademark infringement (despite the passing of 15 years since the release of the only material under his name, a 1990 LP by Manitoba’s Wild Kingdom.
		Snaith renamed his project Caribou and released ‘The Milk of Human Kindness’ in May 2005 for Domino.

	Mundane Sounds
		Snaith, presumably riding a wave of artistic momentum, started work on his next album immediately after the tour, only to be interrupted midway through by a lawsuit.
		Snaith couldn’t afford to fight the case and lose, so he simply changed his name.
		It’s not as if Snaith hasn’t changed his identity before: although recorded under the Manitoba name, the garden-variety IDM his first album Start Breaking My Heart bore few traces of what was to come on Up in Flames.

		When Dan Snaith's debut EP was released in October 2000, no-one - least of all him - expected the overwhelming response the record received.
		The only thing rigorously serious about Dan is his arch sense of humour that owes more to a helpless addiction to silly hip hop records than bamboozling all and sundry with abstract theorems.
		Dan plays guitars and keyboards, preferring to record a melody straight up than sample someone else's, combining these basic elements with computer trickery.

	Montreal Mirror - Music : Manitoba
		In a controlled study, cringe-o-meter readings for bands like Chicago and Nazareth were off the scale (there is even cursory evidence that Kansas’s “Carry on My Wayward Son” causes cancer in lab rats), finally proving what lite-rock stations have indicated all along: geographically monikered musical acts blow goats.
		Dan Snaith: I was never really exclusively or even mainly into electronic music.
		It’s funny because, when I started touring for my first album, I was meeting up with a whole new group of people where electronic music was the main part of their record collection.

	Caribou: The Milk Of Human Kindness (2005): Reviews
		Snaith may be showing off, but at least he’s backing it up with strong and memorable arrangements.
		Snaith rips the rarefied sounds of modern pop from their established context and forms nonlinear compositions constantly in flux.
		Snaith simply dictates the flow of emotions and events on this record, with the kind of command presence rarely seen.

	Cleveland - Music - Reindeer Games - clevescene.com
		Snaith can now joke about the trademark-infringement suit filed in 2004 by Handsome Dick, who fretted that Snaith's band name might confuse fans of Manitoba's Wild Kingdom -- a short-lived band led by Handsome Dick that released only one album under his surname (in 1990).
		But Snaith's actually addressing the other members of his band, traveling in a separate van, who just tossed garbage out of their sunroof while passing his vehicle, smearing his windshield with grime.
		Snaith adores free jazz and progressive rock ("Live, we're like Yes meets Yngwie Malmsteen"), but he doesn't see Caribou shows as opportunities to expand the shorter songs into sprawling jams, mainly because of the band's visual presentation.

	OTHER MUSIC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-17)
		Snaith occasionally interjects his dreamy, kaleidoscopic flourishes, but in tracks like "Barnowl" and the seven-minute "A Final Warning," most of the sunny Beach Boy vibes of his last Manitoba album have been replaced by a focused, motorik pulse better suited for a long drive on the autobahn.
		Snaith's greatest talent is effortlessly reshaping these aforementioned influences in imaginative ways.
		As Caribou, Snaith has successfully blurred the line between electronic music and live band performance, however, that doesn't mean that he's always going to combine the two.

	Caribou - The Milk of Human Kindness @ Halo-17.net
		Dan Snaith, having been served legal papers, obviously didn't have that much of a choice in the renaming of his band, but by switching to the name Caribou
		Unlike many of Snaith's other musical appropriations, there is no sense of gentle fun in the track, it's just the sound of an electronic music artist trying his hand at something different, and nailing it perfectly.
		Never mind any legal shenanigans involving long-forgotten dinosaur-rockers, Dan Snaith is still making some of the best and most relevant music so far of the 21st century.

	Lunapark6 » Blog Archive » Interview : Dan Snaith (Caribou)
		Dan: It’s hard to say too much what the album’s going to be like at this point but it will continue on from the last two albums although I think it is far more melodic.
		Dan: That track was really anomalous in that I had no intention to record a stripped down track like that but I wrote it quickly and really like the honesty and the space in it.
		Dan: A Dublin based animation collective called Delicious 9 did all the visuals for the last two albums (which were collected on the Marino dvd that came out last year).

	XLR8R - FOURTET AND CARIBOU: LONG, STRANGE TRIP
		The premise is that the things Snaith and Hebden are wearing—from the brightly colored compasses around their necks to the dreamcatcher-like fishing nets they carry—are instruments the pair will use to harvest the world’s sounds before taking them back to their underground laboratories and making them into songs.
		Snaith was in Toronto—working toward his now-completed PhD in pure mathematics—when he and Hebden first established their relationship as symbiotic sounding boards.
		Snaith says that his initial intention was to get away from “wispy folk songwriting,” but he found it was better to throw out the “big plan” while recording, resulting in increasingly direct forays into metronomic Krautrock builds and acoustic immediacy.

	Junkmedia: Manitoba \| An interview with Manitoba
		Although Snaith is a trained pianist and lifelong drummer, he admits that all the drums on Flames are taken from records.
		This was due in large part to Snaith's living accommodations in London ("I didn't have anywhere to set up a drum kit"), where Snaith is pursuing a Ph.D in number theory.
		Gone is Snaith's solo laptop show, replaced by two enlisted friends, two drumsets, xylophones, guitars, and "piles of other instruments." Though the trio do their best to keep up with Flames' massive size, "there's literally 500 samples on each track, so there's no way we could do [it all].

	Caribou: The Milk of Human Kindness - PopMatters Music Review
		Although Snaith was just being a good Canadian kid in naming his project Manitoba, in a typically Canadian move, he politely decided to avoid controversy by changing monikers.
		In the tradition of DJ Shadow and Prefuse 73, Snaith also brings in a strong hip hop influence from time to time; "Lord Leopard" is highlighted by its menacing tones and sharp urban beats, while the delicate "Pelican Narrows", with its chiming Rhodes piano and languid rhythm has a decidedly soulful feel to it.
		The songs that will jump out a first time listeners, however, are the ones where Snaith makes the transition from organic samples to a more simple band performance, but while the compositions mark a major shift in his musical approach, they still remain true to the Caribou sound.

		A one-man pop band, Dan Snaith's Manitoba project distills everything that's breathtaking and slightly absurd about several extremist alternative-pop movements of the '90s: the jangly white-noise of classic Too Pure/Beggars Banquet records (Pram, Stereolab); freewheeling pastoralia from Mercury Rev and Flaming Lips; and the warm '60s bubblegum of prime Elephant 6 pop music.
		But despite the parade of influences (many of them quite clear), Snaith's productions definitely aren't simply recycling these; his tracks are vibrant and imaginative, calling on fuzzed-out guitar solos and summer-day vocals that recall a raft of solid shoegazers.

		Alas, what was a lighthearted sitcom became a drama, as lots of paperwork with lots of big words on it exchanged hands, motions put forth and carried until a resolution was reached.
		All the while, our protaganist has been hard at work on an artistic response, which has turned out to be a doozy in the form of his third album, The Milk Of Human Kindness.

		Canadian Dan Snaith is probably no fan of ageing New York punk rockers the Dictators.
		After releasing two acclaimed albums under the guise Manitoba, Snaith was threatened with legal action from Dictators frontman Handsome Dick Manitoba, who objected to sharing the alias.
		Snaith's fans were rightly peeved, taking their frustrations directly to the Dictators' online forum.

	Manitoba: Up in Flames [2003] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
		Manitoba (aka Dan Snaith) got the world of electronica buzzing with 2001's Start Breaking My Heart, a strong if not overawing debut, but his sophomore effort, Up in Flames, is a genuine breakthrough.
		Snaith may be gazing backwards for inspiration, but he's progressing full-steam ahead.
		While Snaith seemed content to follow in the footsteps of others, on his debut, here it's clear that he's playing by his own rules.

		The second LP from Dan Snaith back when he hadn't been name-hobbled by an aged Canadian punk, 'Up In Flames' was originally released under the Manitoba moniker - but is here emblazoned with his new proper-noun Caribou.
		Having lost his name in a frankly baffling legal escapade with ex-Dictator 'Handsome Dick Manitoba', Dan Snaith has shrugged off his former moniker, emerging from the cocoon as Caribou and, if 'The Milk of Human Kindness' is anything to go by, then a protracted legal blindside would seem to sharpen the musical senses considerably.
		Rather than resort to being the Artist Formally Known as Manitoba, Dan Snaith has taken his drubbing at the hands of the American legal system squarely on the chin and in line with the court's decision regarding his moniker will now be called Caribou.

	Manitoba - Up In Flames - Review - Stylus Magazine
		Snaith has taken his influences (and they’re broad reaching), cut them up into tiny delicious snippets, and stuck them back together in vibrant new patterns.
		Snaith is happy to take risks and embark on sonic adventures, always making them accessible via irresistible percussion and melodies, upbeat and kinetic.
		There’s so much here that it’s hard to think of Dan Snaith as anything but a childishly wilful dilettante, grabbing shiny sounds and interesting noises from wherever he sees them and putting them back together with such consummate skill and undeniable joi de vivre that he appears to know what he’s doing.

	Manitoba - Start Breaking My Heart
		Classically trained musicians have been making their way towards electronic music for some time now, and Canadian Dan Snaith is a further proof that classical music is not a dead end, neither is it incompatible with the use of samplers, keyboards and drum machines.
		All throughout the album, the man pours hot and cold as he pleases, as he wanders in the excruciating wickedness of his mind, stringing courteous melodies after abstract constructions, as if he was inserting precious oasis of simplicity between intricate wastelands.
		Yet, it is probably in the quietest moments, when Snaith reveals a flair for clever, catchy melodies, that he creates the most memorable tracks.

		Snaith continually subverts expectations, refusing to let the songs flow gracefully from one track to the next.
		Snaith may be showing off, but at least he’s backing it up with strong and memorable arrangements.
		As dissimilar as the individual pieces sound, Snaith successfully manages, via animal and geographically-based titles (not to mention naming a song after electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick) to weave a boldly shamanistic vision-quest vibe through the album.

		And, at the end of this eclectic trip, He quietly brings things to a close with what might be gently struck glass bottles of various sizes and shapes, creating hypnotic patterns of unlikely melodies that slowly fade into the background.
		Another one-man band, Caribou (aka Dan Snaith, a Canadian native formerly known as Manitoba), is a friend and tourmate of Four Tet’s, and is clearly an aesthetic peer.
		What may surprise some listeners new to this “warm electro” style is that, in addition to folk, both Hebden and Snaith are heavily influenced by the more avant-garde aspects of jazz and hip hop.

		Despite Handsome Dick never having released an album under the actual Manitoba name, he showed no signs of backing off, and Snaith was forced to make a decision.
		Rather than face a US court case he couldn’t afford to lose, Dan Snaith reluctantly bowed to the veteran punk’s legal demands, and changed his nom de rock to Caribou.
		Dan sings on five tracks, revealing a vulnerable side on the vocal harmony-led album centrepiece, Hello Hammerheads, which finds him getting alone and intimate on acoustic guitar.

		Electronic music still sounds very electronic and there’s no real reason for it not to have more influence from live-sounding music.” After a year of worldwide touring in support of Up in Flames, Snaith has ditched his solo laptop scene and brought upon a live band, who are starting their first cross-Canada tour.
		Now accompanying Snaith are two fellow bandmates, as well as two drum kits, guitars, keyboards, samplers and a video show.
		Meanwhile, Snaith is finding a new world of commercial acceptance opening up for his music.
