The Milk of Human Kindness is the third album by Canadian mathematician, composer and musician Dan Snaith, released on April 18, 2005 by The Leaf Label and Domino Recording Company. It is Snaith's first album credited under the pseudonym Caribou, previously known as Manitoba until Up in Flames in 2003, after which he was forced to rename after a threatened lawsuit by Handsome Dick Manitoba of The Dictators.[citation needed]
While the title is a quote from William Shakespeare's play Macbeth, Snaith has been quoted as saying that he read it off the back of a milk truck.[4] The album has received critical acclaim.
