Whats This Playlist All About? Given the rather random artists and ordering, we can only presume the Canadian electro-pop experimentalist is having as good a time as the rest of us discovering the pure satisfaction that Shazam can bring.What Do You Get? When a plucky Brazilian septuagenarian (Dona Onete) opens the mix with an infectious, sax-inflected dance groove, you know its going to be an interesting ride. Lana Del Rey shows up (twice), so does The Weeknd, and their sultriness is balanced by the nasally laments of Bob Dylan and the woozy drones of Wooden Shjips. The rest jumps frantically around the map, from tango (Carlos Gardel) and Afrobeat (Manu Dibango) to Ethiopian jazz (Mulatu Astatke) and Slayer.Greatest Discovery: Sophie Hungers dark, dreamy, jazz-laced "Citylights Forever," which sounds slightly like Lana doing Radiohead (and were not talking "Creep").Guiltiest Pleasure: Kottonmouth Kings languid, feel-good ode to weed, "Rest of My Life."What Does This Playlist Say About Caribou? This guys unabashedly omnivorous, a musical globe-trotter, and forever curious. Its probably why he’s so good at molding weird, wild sounds into such enchanting melodies.
