Missy R loves... Caribou

Don't think I am late because there is a reason I am writing about this! The weather! The first song I had ever heard from Caribou was 'Melody Day' off the album 'Andorra', back in 2007. It blew my mind and since I had grown up in the West it was music I had never experienced before, every person I went to school with loved rnb or mainstream crap which I was very bored of (You must remember I was in year 9), no one was really into this strange music except for like 3 people I knew. Hard life. Anyway, I had the first generation iPod touch and I would literally just kick back and play this song on repeat, and in art when we had the privilege of being able to listen to our own music, this song gave me inspiration when nothing else would.

3 years on and I heard 'Odessa', off the album 'Swim'. Back in 2010 I had always assumed that if I was to ever have a fashion show I would be utilising this song in the background, even though I had no intention of actually becoming a designer, I was really fucked up.

 On winter days like today, I have one of those Caribou days when I just sit back and reminisce about those years, and start making up lyrics to all of the songs, because let's face it, I have no idea what the fuck he is saying or singing about!

To read more about the background of Caribou you can click HERE. He has a good story so I would suggest reading it when you have time!

Anyway Caribou has other songs which I really love, 'Leave House' is a very good song which I really like and would suggest everyone listen to. 

I would really describe his style as really chilled out but then it has a kick of crazy in it! His genre is actually Electronica/Psychedelic Pop as it states on wikipedia so I'm just going to reference wiki because it sounds about right! 

Ok so below i've some songs mainly because I have been listening to them today and I believe everyone will like them.

Enjoy!
