When Dan Snaith’s debut 12” EP as Manitoba was released in October 2000 no-one, least of all him, expected the overwhelming response the record received. ‘People Eating Fruit’ sold out immediately, and left the unassuming 22 year old Toronto resident with an incredibly bright future. With a classical and jazz piano background Dan, for kicks, makes unbelievable tunes that threaten to crack your head open with their sheer glorious melodic weight and army of beats, toots and soaring trumpetings. This time it’s “Paul’s Birthday”, a preview of what is expected to be a wave-making debut album. B-side “Evan Likes Driving” presents intricate rhythms that want to burst out of the speakers and head out the door somewhere. As NME described it “Awfully clever, strangely addictive”.
