Miike Snow have been together since 2007. The two swedes on board, Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg have worked under the pseudonym 'Bloodshy & Avant', working with the likes of Madonna, Kylie Minogue and have even won a Grammy for a dance remix of Britney Spears' "Toxic". American, Andrew Wyatt is more of an unknown.
I couldn't tell you why it's taken them 2 years to emerge properly into mainstream music. The song 'Silvia' is being banded around the radio airwaves and 'Animal' has featured in an episode of 'Gossip Girl'. You may recognised 'Black and Blue' from a recently Sony advert, so they're getting about a bit.
The album is lovely to put it simply. If I'd bothered to find out about them sooner I think they'd have featured on my albums list 2009.
Have a listen, you may be surprised.
