...timid knob-twiddling and reclusive laptopping characteristic of the genre, Caribou played like a real live band. In fact, there were no computers in sight: the album’s dense programming was accurately reproduced with only keyboards, a guitar, and two drum sets. While in general a second drummer on stage means either a gimmick or an inability to keep rhythm, these performers actually put them to good use, creating some very heady interplay with the frequently dive-bombing synthesizers.

Of his difficulty in completing the line-up, Evan explains, “It?...

After the school's musicians put on a stirring performance, belting out rousing odes to school and country backed by electric guitars, Rhee Jin Hyuk, a spiky haired drummer, mentions that he owns an MP3 player. But he claims not to have heard of rap music, or even the Beatles. The only tunes he plays are North Korea's version of pop, a chirpy, heavily synthesized sort of muzak that sounds like it was composed in the 1950s. "I want to be a musician in a military propaganda unit," he tells us. Choe, our minder, says...
