Cherry

Throughout Cherry, Snaith creates a new kind of tension in Daphni's music, as well as a spontaneity that seduces his audience into movement ever more cleverly.

Snaith clearly revels in his work as Daphni, and dancefloors the world over will continue to be all the better for it.

Cherry sees the transplanted Canuck effortlessly flit between a diverse array of dance and electronic music modes, all of which he clearly knows and loves.

‘Cherry’ is certainly the product of someone who’s happy to allow their music to evolve spontaneously and organically, thus producing a rich and experimental soundscape to immerse the listener in.

Caribou frontman Dan Snaith’s instrumental, club-friendly, minimal and spontaneous alter-ego returns.

Where the drums of Joli Mai were, more often than not, ready to roll one over at any given point, Cherry blossoms as a listen worth savouring as Daphni's melodious detail leads the dance.

Cherry feels more exploratory and experimental. With no grander narrative powering these 14 tracks, it’s a more disparate listen, closer to the variety of a Snaith DJ set than an album.

Dan Snaith’s latest Daphni record doesn’t make quite as deep of a dent in the club scene as his last Caribou record did in the indie electronica world, but it’s yet another admirable effort from one of electronic music’s most reliable artists.
