American folk-pop deconstructionists The Caribbean have teamed up with engineer, producer, mixologist Scott Solter (Spoon, Okkervil River, The Mountain Goats) and Hidden Shoal to bring you Scott Solter Re-Populates The Caribbean. The EP consists of five tracks from The Caribbean’s 2007 Hometapes record Populations which were sent to Solter to deconstruct, warp, and otherwise obliterate. The result is a set of dizzying curve balls that split the difference between glistening songcraft and complete re-construction.
“You’re forced to occupy their barren pop architecture…. You don’t understand it, but, though you might not admit it, you do hope it will understand you. Or at least not destroy you…” – Pitchfork on The Caribbean
Scott Solter Re-Populates The Caribbean is now available in mp3 format from the Hidden Shoal Store and all good third-party digital music stores, and in CD format distributed through n5Mailorder.
