A Canadian from small-town Ontario now based in England, Dan Snaith has been a leading figure in electronic music over the past decade. A mathematics scholar and an ingenious multi-instrumentalist/composer, he surprised critics and fans with 2007’s Andorra, a brilliant, electro-tinged pop breakthrough with a timeless grace that made most year-end “Best of” lists and won Canada’s prestigious Polaris Music Prize. After the startling infectiousness of Andorra, the latest album Swim is a more complex, multi-layered affair-ripe with fascinating rhythms, instrumentation, and vocals that becomes more alluring with each listen.
