DANCE-FLOOR BLISS AND THE SEARCH FOR (POST-) HUMAN CONNECTION
Over the course of roughly a decade, CARIBOU, the electronic-leaning project from Canadian musician and composer Dan Snaith, has released intricate, sonically inventive records that cradle rhythm and history. On \"Home,\" from 2020's Suddenly, he coos softly alongside a frenetic flip of Gloria Barnes' 1971 single of the same name. There, the subtle cracks and gestures in his voice manage to breathe life into the digitally-manipulated sample. Caribou's music has so far thrived on this quality — Snaith's seemingly boundless musical curiosity and his ability to crystalize big ideas into euphoric moments of dance-floor bliss. It's why his choice to use artificial intelligence on his vocals for his latest album, Honey, feels like a misstep. Here, Snaith's voice is transformed in character and identity, at times creating revelatory moments, like on \"Come Find Me,\" where he's reimagined as a treacly-toned young woman, though in small enough doses for it to work. Elsewhere, like on the rap-adjacent \"Campfire,\" where Snaith renders himself as the sort of rapper you might hear on a Caribou track (think Definitive Jux vibes), the concept breaks down.

Actor You Need to Know: Woo Do-hwan
Woo Do-hwan has an air of glamor and passion in his characters with also a solid realism in a somewhat different, if distinct, sense. I'm wondering what exactly informs that—his artistic sensibilities—but I think it's his use of various theatrical references and his knowledge and appreciation of performing arts habits that, as far as one can tell, come from his learning—he's a major in film and acting from the distinguished Dankook University, South Korea.
