HAPPY RELEASE DAY! We are thrilled to finally bring you our new album, Dandelion, a record four years in the making and very dear to our hearts.

‘Dandelion’ is an album that explores the human experience of bearing multiple truths and opposing emotions simultaneously. Loving while letting go, feeling wounded yet brave, isolated yet deeply connected, seeking change and stability in the same breath and preserving hope amid sadness. It explores how we exist in the space between these opposing feelings while calling for resilience and a deep courage to see that growth is possible and inherently beautiful even in life’s most difficult experiences.

We were very lucky to be able to collaborate with some amazing musicians on this record. Thank you to @mabefs, Introverted Dancefloor, @leoaldrey, @animalparty_assassinbug, @orekusound, and @astrolope!

Thank you to David Psutka and @halocline_trance for releasing the record and all the support they’ve given us every step of the way.
Thanks to @sun_rain_music for his excellent mastering and help with mixing.
Eric Brenner did the incredible artwork that adorns this music.

Thanks to all of our friends, families and everyone who has supported us through this journey. It means a lot to be able to count on so many wonderful people in our lives.

Listen on Bandcamp or your favourite streaming service and tell us how it makes you feel.
Being able to make and share music the way we do is a privilege we don’t take for granted.

Much love
Brad & Sophia

Listen to @dorraamusic’s neo-loungey remix of Look Around! (Link in bio)

“When I heard “Look Around,” I immediately wanted to dissect it a bit and listen more closely to its sounds. The vocal melody grabbed my attention, and so did the garage-y beat (I have a soft spot for it). I added piano and bass on my keyboard, trying to highlight the light, inspiring energy of the original song.” - Dorraa

“Torontonian [Dorraa] makes experimental music in the most literal sense: Not abstract or breaking convention just for the sake of it, but in a way where you can tell that she’s delicately, methodically testing out new ground with whatever she does. Sometimes it’ll touch on something you’d recognize as rave, field recording, electro, grime, or what have you; but just as often you’ll find yourself in unexplored emotional and intellectual space. And throughout, her commitment to the process makes all of it fascinating.” - Joe Muggs

Out now! The amazing @measure.music remix of “Escape From” from our album “Dandelion”.

Left-field, textured, percussive, bassy, deep, and very dynamic! @measure.music is a very skilled producer and musician and it really shows.

Check it out and let us know what you think!

The duo of longtime Caribou drummer Brad Weber and singer-songwriter Sophia Alexandra, Pick a Piper pairs ethereal vocals, warm synths and upbeat percussion.

Simultaneously danceable and contemplative, characterized by relentless momentum and an undeniable connection with the audience, their sound seeks to engage heart and mind, aiming for ultimate collective release.

The duo will perform at the MUTEK Montréal Festival on 25 August as part of Expérience 1.

À la fois dansante et contemplative, leur musique se distingue par une impulsion constante et une connexion manifeste avec l’audience, cherchant autant à mobiliser le corps et l’esprit qu’à provoquer une forme de relâchement collectif.

Le duo se produira au Festival MUTEK Montréal, le 25 août lors de l’événement Expérience 1.

Europe tour photo dump! Thanks to everyone who helped us book shows, find venues, gave us tasty food recommendations, helped us when we had no idea where we were going or what we were doing and most of all showed us such love and enthusiasm! We hope to be back sooner than later.
