Video: Caribou: "Melody Day" (Live at Midi Festival)
Like Christmas in July, France's Midi Festival just keeps on giving. We've already posted high-quality videos of the Animal Collective performing new one "Walk Around", two other post-Strawberry Jam songs, and two older songs at this summer's event on the French Riviera. Caribou was there, too, leading up to the release of the Best New Music-ified Andorra, and now we're excited to find good-looking footage of Dan Snaith and his band recreating the Zombies-like psych-pop of single "Melody Day". Sticking close to the album version, the performance confirms that Caribou on record has grown closer to Caribou live. Not sure why the one dude is wearing a scarf-- we mentioned July, right?-- but that long-haired young kid in the audience is totally feeling every beat.
