Manitoba’s 2003 breakthrough album, Up in Flames, was the musical equivalent of an overstuffed toy box; blissed-out paeans to the gods of ‘60s psych-pop and modern electronica, and more ideas than most artists crank out in an entire career spill from every side. One name change and two records later, we have Caribou’s Andorra, an album that trades in the nearly unbridled experimentation of Up in Flames for a more approachable—and ultimately less exciting—sonic palette.
