Polaris Prize winner/mathematician/artist formerly known as Manitoba/Canadian indie-electronic act Caribou is back with a new album for 2010. Slated for an April 20th North American release and an April 19th UK release, Swim will mark Caribou’s first full-length effort since the critically acclaimed 2007 album Andorra; Andorra beat out albums from Canadian indie heavyweights such as Stars, The Weakerthans, and Black Mountain to claim the title of best Canadian full-length album of 2008, from the Polaris grand jury.

Taking it slow, saving up she
Before she know it, all I ask before she goes home
She’s tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She’s suffered him for far too many years of her life
Feeling low, and scared that he’ll say
Do you know how overtime you drove her away
Saving up to, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up for everything that she chose
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she’s gonna say
Saving up for, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up for everything that she chose
Taking the kids, driving away
Turn around the life she let him siphon away
And I’ve been with you, for all of these years
Tell you what I’ve got to show for all of my tears
The times you hurt me, and treated me wrong
Something had to give to stop this thing from going on
She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what she’s gonna say
She’s tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She’s suffered him for far too many years of her life
Feeling low, and scared that he’ll say
Do you know how overtime you drove her away
