Miike Snow

The speed at which trio Miike Snow reached success—selling out shows on their first tour—might seem surprising, until you peel back the masks to reveal who is behind the project. Swedes Chris Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg, aka production duo Bloodshy & Avant, have been working with high-profile artists since the early 2000s, including Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Britney Spears—they co-wrote and produced Spears’ “Toxic,” and won the 2005 Grammy for Best Dance Recording for their efforts. Wyatt was an in-house producer for Downtown Records (which released Miike Snow’s self-titled debut in 2009), as well as a member of musical projects Fires of Rome, Black Beetle and the AM. The members met through a mutual friend while Wyatt was visiting Sweden, and they experimentally started making music together. This experiment has grown into a full-blown band; the trio becomes a sextet at live shows, employing enough members to keep backing tracks out of the equation. Miike Snow is a record filled with danceable beats, deep synths and soulful singing care of Wyatt, and live, the groups’ uniforms of black windbreakers shimmer under the light, creating a contagious nightclub vibe befitting their infectious songs.
