Caribou - Swim mixtape [2010]

I remember being blown away by Manitoba (as they were), back around 2005-ish, at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. (Thanks for driving Rick, we found it eventually..!). Having only heard their Boards of Canada-esque debut "Start Breaking My Heart", we were surprised to see a drums/keyboard, 2 guitar lineup! But what a show it was. Quite a an achievement that 3 people could make such a manic shoegaze, psychedelic, joyous noise.

Anyway, many moons later, the ever-wonderful Rough Trade bundled 2 extra disks (in store) with their 2010 album "Swim". One of these was the mixtape you see here. There's no info on the cover or disk, except what you see over on the left there. I forget where on the internet this tracklist came from and I can't vouch for it's accuracy, but here it is anyway (any info welcome!!):
