miike snow is a swedish electropop band formed in 2007, consisting of andrew wyatt, the producing team of christian karlsson and pontus winnberg.
members christian karlsson and pontus winnberg were childhood friends who spent time playing in bands and working on various projects. in 2004, while working on a pop album for someone else, they met andrew wyatt, an american songwriter.
karlsson and winnberg collaborated under the moniker "bloodshy & avant," and won a significant amount of success as producers and songewriters. previously, they worked with artists like madonna and kelis, and won a grammy for best dance recording for britney spears' "toxic."
in 2009 miike snow released their debut album miike snow, consisting of eleven tracks. their second song "silvia" was released on january 25, 2010. it's a beautiful song and probably my favorite track on the cd.
in a recent interview, lead singer andrew wyatt revealed their unexpected popularity, "i don't think our project was that thought out when we started. we just wanted to make music together. three people just messing about. i don't think we anticipated the level of attention that it's getting right now. we didn't even think about touring when we started the album."
miike snow has actually remixed songs by several bands like passionpit, peter bjorn and john, and vampire weekend. most of the remixed songs can be found and downloaded for free on rcrdlbl.com. personally, i think the vampire weekend remix is the best, but the passionpit is a close second.
just fyi: miike snow is currently on tour in the states. if you're interested in the dates and venues, just check out their myspace! unfortunately, they're not touring with lykke li again, which was probably amazing for anyone who was lucky enough to attend.
