Caribou Shares New Single, ‘Volume’

The track is influenced by M|A|R|R|S' 90s classic 'Pump Up The Volume'

Caribou has shared a new single, titled ‘Volume’.

Out today (July 31), it’s the third track to emerge from the artist, real name Dan Snaith, this year, after April’s ‘Honey’ and last month’s ‘Broke My Heart’. The new song, which you can watch a video for below, is influenced by the 90s UK dance music classic ‘Pump Up The Volume’ by M|A|R|R|S.

“‘Pump Up The Volume’ was the first time in my life I heard electronic music – sitting in front of the family stereo system listening to the Top 40 countdown on the radio when I was a kid,” Snaith said in a statement. “It completely blew my mind – it sounded like something from another world.

“It’s stuck with me ever since – I always wanted to rework it in some way. I didn’t consciously think about it when I started working on my track but I think there’s something really nice about having gone right back to the very beginning in making this.”

‘Volume’ is out now on City Slang.
