Leave House

Written and produced by Dan Snaith for Swim, the track was part of the 2010 album sessions associated with Bryn Derwen Studio in Wales; the finished track was mixed by David Wrench at Bryn Derwen. On Swim, it was one of the album’s standout dance-oriented cuts, praised in contemporary reviews for joining experimental pop detail with a driving beat. Critics singled it out as a compelling track within the album’s shift toward darker, more intricate dance music. The track continued to circulate through Caribou’s remix campaign, including versions by Motor City Drum Ensemble and Ikonika, and it remains a durable fan-favorite from Swim. Its sample-based construction and remix life helped keep it active in Caribou’s catalog.
