JIAOLONG 024LP
|
2023 repress; double LP version. Daphni aka Caribou aka Dan Snaith announces a new album, Cherry, his first album since 2017. Cherry will be released via Snaith's own Jiaolong label. Whether in the studio or the club, Daphni has always been a pursuit where Dan Snaith lets the music find its own path. With Cherry this is more evident than ever, this sense of the tracks as objects with life and desires outside of Snaith's control has now become a driving force in their creation. "There isn't anything obvious that unifies it or makes it hang together," Snaith says. "I think it was good that it was made without worrying about any of that. I just made it." Recorded over a prolonged period, Snaith let the music go where it wanted to go. It wasn't until he put everything he'd been tinkering with together that he realized what he had. "It's weird that when the tracks were put in what felt like the right order it took on a new coherence," he says, "where it pings quickly from one idea to the next and, at least for me, hangs together in way that feels unified. Maybe because it's hard to avoid the musical fingerprints I leave on the music I make, whether I want to or not." The component parts have this same sense of independence, the essence of Daphni always present over music that is more free-wheeling than it's ever been, almost escaping Snaith's grasp as it tumbles and spirals. "As is often the case when you're working quickly and intuitively, new pieces of equipment played a part" he says. New gear and ways of working meant Snaith was able to sit at the center of the music but let things get away from him a bit more as equipment began to make its own decisions before reeling it back in to suit his purposes, or as he puts it "getting the snake to eat its own tail".

JIAOLONG 023EP
|
"The Sizzling EP first appeared earlier this week as a white label, though Dan Snaith has since tweeted that the title track is a rework of the 1981 song 'Sizzlin' Hot' by Bermudian band Paradise. The EP, out via Snaith's Jiaolong label, also features a radio edit of that one plus three other new songs: "'f', 'Romeo', 'Just' ... Daphni last put out new music in 2017, when he mixed the all-originals FabricLive 93 (FABRIC 186CD) and released the Joli Mai LP (JIAOLONG 022CD/LP." --Resident Advisor
