Q: Who The Eff is Miike Snow?

A: A Swedish Electropop outfit that masterfully combines pop sensibilities with electronic appeal. Don't kid yourself, there are many bands out there that wave the indie-ElectoPop flag, but few focus on actually being good, relying more on gimmicks and white people to justify their existence. Miike Snow is certainly a cut above. A cross between Passion Pit, Lindsey Buckingham, and Phoenix, Miike Snow keeps it cool.

The Mike Snow has been a part of a blizzard marketing campaign in the UK. You might have seen his b&W posters featuring the jackrabbit with horns. What was that little beast called? There's a huge mock-up above some used car dealership next to the Riglea on Camp Bowie.

Lindsey Buckingham, how so? maybe I should give it a closer listen! I like Pheonix. It makes me so sentimental, not sentimental, no.

Been lookin for something else.

Cult Logic Forever Remix of Snow + Drake
VERY nice synth sound @ :52s. FANTASTIC song, leaning a little towards the Usher vain 'In this Club' as evident in the chorus, which I prefer over the generic I'm-a-better-wrapper-than-u lyrics in the verses however. mi dos pesos: It would have done Cult Logic well, if it would have added an indi chick to proxy-in 4 the verses, like popular st vincent or lily allen-ish. An obvious nod to sate the appetites of indi mnstrmers. With the right crew, we'd be able to play this in the fowd fowcus with the hot chick with subtle cross-eye who don't know steely dan hey nineteen from the jackelope on this blogpost cover.
On a theoretical tangent regarding authorship, exactly who is the author of this song now? Who gets royalties? the bigger fish in the mix, miike snow? Either way the reinterpretation is worth the time to write about. I dislike wite peoples too.

Miike Snow is the new king of the Swedish Post-Electronic Baroque Revival. He took that Passion Pet gaze song and dipped it in liquid optimism.
