Caribou announces new album ‘Honey’ with ‘Come Find Me’ video
Dan Snaith and his band will also preview their new live show with a tiny London residency beginning next week.
Caribou has announced details of his new album, Honey, alongside a video for a new single and details of a London residency.
The follow-up to Dan Snaith’s 2020 album Suddenly will be released on October 4 via City Slang, and has been previewed by the singles ‘Broke My Heart’, ‘Volume’ and the title track.
The video for new single ‘Come Find Me’ has now been shared, which sees a child dancing around London in a huge mask of Snaith.
Discussing the new single, he said: “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.”

Discussing the album, Snaith added: “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.”
Next weekend, Caribou will begin a four-night residency at London’s tiny Waiting Room to preview their new live show ahead of a UK tour early next year.
