Caribou

Caribou

Unfortunately, I missed a big chunk of Caribou’s set because I stayed for the entirety of Underworld (more on which, in a moment) and I wound up taking the long, circuitous route backstage with Strand Of Oaks (more on which, in a moment). Doesn’t matter, though — twenty-five minutes of a Caribou set is still one of the easy highlights of the entire Primavera experience. Any Caribou set is a highlight of wherever it’s happening. I became aware of Caribou by seeing Dan Snaith’s project open for Radiohead; ever since, I’ll take any chance I can to see these guys. I managed to catch “Can’t Do Without You” and “Sun,” both of which are titans live — especially “Sun,” which has grown into this ten-plus minute epic at the end of the show.
