Before “Handsome Dick” Manitoba lost his mind and threatened to sue Dan Snaith a few years ago, the Canadian electro psychedelicist was named after one of his homeland’s provinces. Now, splitting the difference, he’s named after an animal that resides there. Fuck you, “Handsome Dick.” Anyhow, the Natural Geographic friendly video for Andorra‘s “Irene” splices together footage of other furry, feathered, scaled, slimy, and ribbed (yes, ribbed) creatures who you might come across during a hike or swim.
UPDATE: Sorry, the newness of is unclear. But we hadn’t seen it, so maybe you haven’t either? Either way, it’s worth a watch because it is Caribou and therefore awesome.

Or, in the contest of this warping hymn, some kind of drug-induced astral projection. The sunny psychedelics of Andorra remain great, as do the more Kraut tendencies of The Milk Of Human Kindness, which we’ve found ourselves spinning around the office (read: apartment) of late. So in its own way, in the end, the move from Manitoba has been, well, totally great.
Andorra is out via Merge.

truth! my fault, but somehow i hadn’t seen it. sorry to bore you, we won’t let it happen again.
actually this video is new as of today. the one released previously was unofficial and pulled soon after being put up.
yeah, but it was only online for a few days. and this looks like a new edit.

for the record, this is the video by the guys who did that short for Crystal Castles with a homeless dude getting a cinder block dropped on his head.
just…. just so you know
no way this is totally new. a rougher version was floating around for like a day but i don’t even think it used all of the same footage. sorry you’re bored so easily dude but frankly this video is pretty epic. who are these video guys caribou’s others are nothing like this?
“Irene” is probably my favorite Caribou song ever. This video is pretty sweet.–well suited to the music.
