2: Caribou - The Milk Of Human Kindness [re-visit]

There is still something that keeps me at a distance from this album, and I think it's because the album doesn't have a very satisfying flow. Those short tracks littered throughout the album are annoying, too abrasive, too short and the fact that a lot of the other tracks are quite long at 5 mins plus, coupled with the drowsy nature of the music, makes this a difficult album to get on with sometimes. Which isn't at all to say that I don't like it still, it does nail a tone, or vein, consistently, it's just a bit too disjointed for me.

If you're looking for an ultimate summertimes experience, play Black Moth Super Rainbow's Dandelion Gum, then Milk Of Human Kindness and the then The Bees (or Band Of Bees, for the US) Octopus, all three albums have the same spectacularly chilled summer-time analog charm about them. A nice way to spend the first few hours of my 22nd birthday!
