The Milk of Human Kindness is Dan Snaith's third studio album, originally released in 2005. It marked the first record credit to the Caribou name, after Snaith dropped his previous Manitoba moniker following a threatened lawsuit from Handsome Dick Manitoba of The Dictators. Rather than start from scratch, Snaith folded the two sides of himself together -- the icy precision of Start Breaking My Heart and the sun-drenched sprawl of Up in Flames -- into something both hypnotic -- influenced by Fren progressive rock and German krautrock of the 1970s -- and pastoral. The record was met with strong critical acclaim, and its singles, "Yeti" and "Barnowl," remain fan favorites to this day. Against the backdrop of the legal name change it is simultaneously the end of a chapter while also quietly setting the stage for the run of albums that would follow.
