...apparent that Caribou’s latest release, “Swim,” is very different from his last. 2007’s “Andorra,” the previous full-length release by the electronic artist and Ontario native David Snaith, was a record of textures, the kind of album that is best appreciated alone, eyes closed, with headphones on. 40-odd minutes of meandering, unpredictable soundscapes, “Andorra” waxed and waned but never climaxed, never really accelerated. The result was a deservedly acclaimed album of ambient electronica that was unhurried...

Finally, said the bank, "we wish Mr. Hoving a very merry Christmas...
...Edible Package. Having bounced back from a mild heart attack two years ago, Snaith is still zestfully looking for new arts and businesses to master. Sculpture beckons, as does real estate development. As for packaging, the number of products is rising so much faster than floor space in supermarkets that Snaith foresees the day when some items may have to be sold by a combination of TV, phone and computer. Some packages may have to shrink, says Snaith, and others may well be converted into something consumable-in other words, the wrapping will be edible...
