Pitchfork

Because Up in Flames is so focused on big moments and aural candy, it's wise that Snaith decided to keep the record under 40 minutes. He blows you out and then packs it up. ...more

Pitch Fork Media

Something must have happened to Manitoba's Dan Snaith. His 2001 debut for the Leaf label, Start Breaking My Heart , was blissed-out pastoral IDM that warranted Boards of Canada comparisons. Then he went off and made some clubby tracks that ...more

Almost Cool

Once again, Snaith has surprised just about everyone, and Up In Flames will likely go down as one of my favorite albums of the year. ...more

Drowned In Sound

Up in Flames isn't the next revolution of electro-pop, but it's a damn good try. ...more

Playlouder

All the talk in recent years of dance music's sudden sharp decline has tended to overlook one fairly salient cause; namely, that, after years in the safe hands of the Underworlds and Orbitals of the world, it fell carelessly into the clumsy paws ...more

Playlouder

Manitoba is a lunatic and a fool, and his strange music, crafted from nature and machine and birdsong and the wind and the air and the seas and THE GODS... it is a fine, fine thing indeed. ...more

Playlouder

sample: Skunks Manitoba is a classic example of the strange animal named a long time ago by Dr George Lazenby of Alabama University as Caner Studius Geekus . According to the good doctor, the right situation in which to experience the work of one ...more
