Electronic outfit Caribou has been named as the winner of IMPALA’s European album of the year for his latest long player, Our Love.
The album is Caribou, aka Dan Snaith’s sixth, and was released on City Slang in Europe last year.
He was selected ahead of other shortlisted artists such as Fai Baba, Batida, Broken Twin, Sleaford Mods and Aphex Twin.
Helen Smith, executive chair of IMPALA, said: ‘Caribou emerged a worthy winner in a vote which pitched Our Love against Europe’s very best releases of 2014.
‘This year’s award winner also underlines the work by European independent labels, not only with European artists but with acts from all over the world.’
Caribou is a Canadian composer, musician and recording artist, who now resides in London. His album is the follow up to his much loved Swim album ad features collaborations with the likes of Jessy Lanza and Owen Pallett.
