American folk-pop deconstructionists The Caribbean have teamed up with engineer, producer, mixologist Scott Solter (Spoon, Okkervil River, The Mountain Goats) and Hidden Shoal to bring you Scott Solter Re-Populates The Caribbean.

The result is a set of dizzying curve balls that split the difference between glistening songcraft and complete re-construction.
