Hidden Shoal is excited to share this stunning new music video by <a href="http://marksolter.com/">Mark Solter</a> for <a href="http://www.boxharp.com/scottsolter/poduction-recording-mixing.htm">Scott Solter</a>'s remix of <a href="http://www.thecaribbeanisaband.com/">The Caribbean</a>'s 'Populations'.

In 2009 American folk-pop deconstructionists The Caribbean teamed up  with engineer, producer, mixologist (Superchunk, Spoon, Okkervil River,  The Mountain Goats) and one half of Boxharp Scott Solter to bring you <em>Scott Solter Re-Populates The Caribbean</em>, released through Hidden Shoal. The EP comprises five tracks from The Caribbean's 2007 Hometapes record <em>Populations</em>,  which were sent to Solter to deconstruct, warp, and otherwise  obliterate. The result is a set of dizzying curve balls that split the  difference between glistening songcraft and complete re-construction.  Scott Solter's ‘Populations’ remix rounds out this unique EP in suitably  woozy shimmer, like sunlight cutting through a hangover, dissolving the  song’s remnants in a pool on the sidewalk. <a href="http://marksolter.com/">Mark Solter</a>'s visual  accompaniment is a richly smeared, unresolvable abstract  landscape. It  is at once inviting and at the same time completely unknowable - a  perfect marriage to its sonic partner.

<em>"<em>...</em>and as Solter overhauls their music, he makes us go back  and re-hear  what was already there in the original versions. Where did  these sounds  come from? Not from nowhere, they were there…just hidden,  or living  different lives. Scott Solter Re-Populates The Caribbean may  be  surprising for fans of the band, but it also should be exciting for   everyone.”</em> - <strong>Erasing Clouds</strong>

The Caribbean are set to release their sublime new album <em>Discontinued Perfume</em> on the ever excellent <a href="http://www.home-tapes.com/Hometapes/Home.html">Hometapes</a> label next year along with an exciting new project for Hidden Shoal (more info in 2011!).
