The new track, ‘Honey’, has already been teased to fans in the past year, including at his headline set at the BBC Radio 6 festival at The Warehouse Project.
‘Honey’ has been released alongside a flamingo-inspired music video from Richard Kenworthy of Shynola, featuring trippy artificial intelligence-made visuals.

For the past few years Caribou, AKA Dan Snaith, has been releasing under his Daphni alias.
As Daphni, he has played back-to-back with Floating Points at Four Tet’s Under The K Bridge event this year, and is set to play at Coachella’s all-new electronic music stage, Quasar.
His last release as Caribou was the GRAMMY-nominated single ‘You Can Do It’ which dropped back in August 2021.

Before this, Snaith shared his album ‘Suddenly'' — which concentrated on life-changing moments focusing on loss, love and death.
“I feel like when I listen to this album – or at least the mellower moments – I hear the kind of music that wants to comfort, wants to give a big hug, to reassure and be supportive,” he told Mixmag in his cover interview ahead of the launch of ‘Suddenly’.
