Miike Snow

At a first glance you could be forgiven for assuming that Miike Snow is some guy with a typo, but it is in fact a band who have taken their name from Japanese film director Takashi Miike.

The band consists of Swedish production duo, Bloodshy & Avant aka Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg, and American singer-songwriter Andrew Wyatt.

Karlsson and Winnberg have worked with the likes of Kylie, Madonna and Britney, and are probably most well-known for producing Grammy award-winning pop hit 'Toxic', whilst Wyatt co-produced Daniel Merriweather's 'Love And War' with none other than super producer Mark Ronson.

Their début release, self-titled album 'Miike Snow', has created a lot of hype, and the trio has been dubbed the next big thing in electro-pop.

Apparently these dudes are the next big thing in electro-pop. Two of them are the brains behind Britney's super hit 'Toxic' and the other one has co-produced with Ronson. Oh, and they're Swedish, and those Swedes sure know how to make good pop.

So naturally I'm expecting to be totally blown away by this single. But guess what? I'm not. And don't even get me started on the video. Maybe they're too hyped up. Or maybe I'm just not down with the kids. 1/5
