In 2009, Miike Snow released their self-titled debut album much to the acclaim of critics and fans around the world and went on to perform at sold-out shows and festivals across the world and on TV. Miike Snow’s ‘Animal’ found it’s way into movies, commercials, dance floors and hearts, to became the ode of a generation. On March 27th 2012, Miike Snow is set to release one of the most highly anticipated followups, Happy To You, on Downtown Records / Universal Republic.
On their sophomore effort, Andrew Wyatt, Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg draw from some of the most influential moments in pop, rock and electronic music to create a grandiose and haunting sound, an opus extending into the deep, dark and magical crevices of a wild imagination. Alongside all the fine-tuning and familiar sounds, Miike Snow’s new album also features full orchestras, brass sections and marching bands. On making the new record and the evolution of Miike Snow’s sound, Pontus Winnberg states, "Before this album, we were an idea. 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. And hopefully you can hear it."
