Miike Snow took shape in Stockholm in 2007 when the Swedish production and songwriting team Bloodshy & Avant, Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg, joined forces with the American singer Andrew Wyatt. The result was indie pop with a producer's polish, synths that glisten and bounce under Wyatt's soulful, slightly wounded voice, with a silhouetted jackalope as their calling card.

The self-titled debut of 2009 is where to start, and "Animal" is its prize: a glittery, off-kilter pop song that is catchy enough for the dance floor and sad enough for the ride home. Happy to You followed in 2012 with "Paddling Out", brighter and pulsing, and iii arrived in 2016, the year "My Trigger" came out. "Ghenghis Khan" rounds out their best-known songs, a swaggering, bass-heavy strut that shows off just how much fun they could have in the studio.
