Fifty-word review

Swim

Borrow It

A good-not-great release from an electropop stalwart, Swim reaches neither the highs nor the lows of past Caribou releases. Nicely mixing danceable beats with indie pop sentiments, Swim is an undeniably solid listen. With no outstanding highlights like Andorra’s “Melody Day,” though, this one falls short of dazzling.
