WHY:

Canadian born Caribou (Daniel Victor Snaith) thankfully chose to live in the UK after completing his PhD in Mathematics (amazing) in 2005.  He crafts beautiful music that is so original it hurts.  ’Odessa’ is an instantly lovable track with a bouncing beat and subtle vocals, just as good listened to quietly or full blast.  I have listened to this song an embarrassing number of times this year and for that reason it is, without a doubt, the track of 2010 for me.

CHOSEN BY:

Rhiannon.

So, the last week of 2010, 285 tracks down, and now it’s time to choose our 5 favourites. There’s obviously a good chance each editor has already featured their first choice at some point in the year so in order to avoid repeating ourselves, some of these may be second or even third choices, but hey, either way, these are some of the very best tracks of 2010.

This track is listed in: Alternative // Dance / Electronica // Rhiannon

    i absolutely love the track: haunting, subtle and layered, whilst being immediately compelling and maddeningly addictive.

    Thanks guys for this. I’ve heard this song before, but I never gave it a real chance before now. It’s actually very good!
