Happy to You

Miike Snow is a trio made up of Swedish superproducers, Bloodshy & Avant (aka: Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg) and American Andrew Wyatt. 'Happy To You' is their second album, the follow up to their critically-acclaimed self-titled debut album released in 2009.

Miike Snow are back with a big, bold, bright, colourful album bristling with tunes and (break) beats and ideas and more tunes - yes, that is an orchestra, and fo sure, that is a marching band. Miike Snow started the band as an ad hoc side-project between other jobs Wyatt had been working with Mark Ronson; as producer-writers Bloodshy & Avant, Winnberg and Karlsson had been cranking out the dancefloor hits such as Britney Spears Piece Of Me and Toxic. They ended up with a debut album that was synced over 200 times in Hollywood and beyond.

The band that should never have worked have turned a new corner, and turned myriad new tricks. Miike Snows second album is a triumph of tunes, set to burn up airwaves and dance floors and festival-fields through 2012 and beyond.

"Before this album, we were an idea" reflects Pontus Winnberg. "This time we were a band and this time we had paid our dues - we'd toured in 27 countries for 18 months. When we came in to make Happy To You we came in as a unit and emotionally for us that makes a huge difference. Hopefully you can hear it."
