Just played on Annie Mac, and had no idea how much i love these guys.
Very Indie Pop/Electropop styles, gorgeous music.
And the video anthology they have made for this album is brilliant.
About a regular man who has his own talents and is "abducted" by a corporation and made into a creature he doesnt want to be.
I think based on the ironies of the music industry, the idea that if you dont stand for your own expressions, your own rights as an artist...you can be manipulated into becoming something you dont want to be.
check it out

No wonder i am really digging these guys right now
But enough about those wonderful pop princesses, Miike Snow are very talented and I feel under-rated! I too came across them via Radio 1.
YES MCA1992! thanks for commenting...we must share the love of these guys.
On WIki when it said worked famously with - Britney, Madonna, Kylie...i was like hang on...i dont remember Miike SNow on production credits 2003 - 2007??? and then it HIT me when they said who they were :eek:
But tbh i am glad they have their own conceptualised band definitely.:)
ANd i love they worked with The Queen (Like It Or Not on COADF) and the Princesses too (In The Zone, Balckout, Femme Fatale and X) they are immense producers still.
Yeah i have the album on order
But yeah thanks for commenting, will deffo let you know about the album when i own it
Your welcome! Thanks for making a thread to appreciate them! I guess this is just one of the many signs of just how underrated these guys are if its just us two appreciating them on here so far!
Ah well! 2 fans is better than none!
Yes, please do let me know how the album is. I think I will wait for opinions/reviews before buying. And if its on Spotify I'll give it a play on there too before buying.
Paddling Out is such a tune, sonically very unique and fresh!
I would still love them to re-work with the pop royalty again even if its a full on collaboration with them singing too!
Yeah 2 fans on a page will be enough...we can say we are among the first on DS to acknowledge them. Like seriously yes they are being very overlooked. I am thankful for Radio 1 playing them however and Annie Macs show the night before with them was beautiful in a special live lounge....must try and find the audio for it.
Yeah i havent seen many reviews for the album
Will give a full overview of the album soon....but damn it is soemthing else.
If you love electronic/acoustic styles, electro/experimental sounds and some House/Experimental sounds this album definitely has it all....very euphoric and uplifting sounds.

I like all the sounds you mentioned there! Kylie and Britney were at their best on X and Blackout when they mixed it up and experimented so to hear it from the horses mouth itself will be really exciting. I've put in an order for it now!
Ah brilliant MCA!!! So glad we share a similar taste...really hope more people take notice f them really.
May check out what their debut previous album is like too...i think released in 2009? not sure?
And yeah Kylie was at her best side in X i feel...her work with Bloodshy was her most daring/experimental...shame the entire album didnt encapsulate on those sounds nor was it produced by em fully....still at least we got some great stuff with em. and yeah Britney showcased a lot of her best sides with them across ehr career.
You will enjoy it...it isnt "intense dance" or "Electropop" in those respects on Miike Snows album but it is very experimental mixing Indie with Dance elements....very refreshing and definitely filling time until MDNA next week....but this album is like one of those that grows every listen.
Also i love the concept of a meta-human-popstar on the run too
Yup was released last Monday
Ah yes perfection! Definitely for the summer, now i have blasted MDNA all week can go and re-check Happy To You i in full again :cool:
