Back in March Caribou announced reissues of three of his early albums, including his 2001 debut as Manitoba, ‘Start Breaking My Heart’.
“Making this album in my crappy student bedroom in Toronto and mailing it over to Tony [Morley, Leaf Label] on burned CDs, it was thrilling that there was a real record label in London that was excited about releasing it all over the world,” Snaith recalled in a statement about the making of his debut solo album.
“It may be 20 years ago, but I can still remember the excitement from around the time of this album release and of me starting to become a ‘real music producer’ vividly.”
