Caribou - Start Breaking My Heart (Vinyl LP 25th Anniversary Repress)
Black LP • 25th Anniversary Repress • 10 Tracks
‘Dundas, Ontario’ opens on bright, chiming loops over beats that stutter and skip. The debut, and the Caribou sound is already here in miniature. ‘People Eating Fruit’ stacks melody on melody until the whole track glows. Percussion clatters and tumbles throughout, never settling into a straight grid. Playground laughter drifts in and out of the mix. ‘Happy Ending’ closes on warm, soft-focus tones. Homemade and glowing.

About the album.
Start Breaking My Heart is the debut album from Dan Snaith, a warm, melodic record of IDM and electronica first released on The Leaf Label on 27 March 2001 under the name Manitoba. It arrives here on black vinyl as a 25th anniversary repress through People Eating Fruit Records.
Snaith made the record as a student, working alone in his bedroom on a home computer that struggled with the demands of digital recording. Its sound is built from looping melodies, intricate percussion and samples of children at play, a homemade quality that gives the album much of its charm.
Kieran Hebden of Four Tet, whom Snaith met at a UK festival, passed his music on to Leaf. The album was preceded by ‘People Eating Fruit’ in October 2000 and ‘Paul’s Birthday’ in February 2001.
The record’s standing has grown over time. In 2017, Pitchfork ranked it number 40 in its list of the 50 best IDM albums of all time.
After a threatened lawsuit from Handsome Dick Manitoba of The Dictators, Snaith changed his artist name to Caribou, and the album was reissued under that name in 2006.
People Eating Fruit Records is repressing it alongside Up in Flames and The Milk of Human Kindness. For where that bedroom sound eventually led, Caribou’s 2020 album Suddenly is the place to go next. If this record is your lane, Four Tet, the artist who helped get it heard, is the natural companion.
