Caribou Needs YOU! (to Remix a Track From ‘Swim’)

Canadian electronic musician Caribou cordially invites you to butcher remix “Sun,” the lead track from his forthcoming album.

That’s right, folks. The man, whose 2007 release Andorra blew minds everywhere, is set to release Swim, his latest effort, on April 19. The album, which will be available on both CD and double-LP(!) formats, is available now for pre-order in the Merge Records store. Video for “Odessa,” the album’s first single, is above.

For song parts and details on the remix contest, visit SoundCloud. The contest ends May 7, and winners will receive Swim on double-LP and CD along with an “Odessa” 12-inch, a t-shirt, and two tickets to a Caribou show near you.

Mr. Caribou will also play San Diego’s Casbah on May 20 (and Ontario’s Casbah on June 10), and you can bet we’ll be there (at the San Diego one).
