The band consists of producing team Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg (also known as [[Bloodshy & Avant]]) and [[Andrew Wyatt]]. ==Early years== Miike Snow was formed in 2007 in [[Stockholm]], Sweden. Band members Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg were childhood friends who spent time playing in bands and working on various projects in studios throughout the city of [[Gothenburg]]. Karlsson used to be a member of Swedish hip-hop band Goldmine, who toured with [[The Fugees]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cafe.se/?id=658599 |title=Café.se |publisher=Cafe.se |date= |accessdate=2011-02-21}}</ref> After separate moves to Stockholm, they reunited in 2000. In 2004, whilst working on writing a pop album for [[Britney Spears]], the pair met the third band member, American songwriter [[Andrew Wyatt]]. Karlsson and Winnberg collaborated under the moniker Bloodshy & Avant, and enjoyed a significant amount of success as producers and songwriters. They have worked with artists such as [[Madonna (singer)|Madonna]], [[Kylie Minogue]], [[Kelis]], and won a [[Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording]] for Spears's track "[[Toxic (song)|Toxic]]". The name "Miike Snow" is said to have come from one of their friends called Mike Snow, with the spelling of "Miike" coming from the Japanese film director [[Takashi Miike]]. ==''Miike Snow''== ''[[Miike Snow (album)|Miike Snow]]'' is Miike Snow's eponymous debut album. It was recorded in Stockholm and released in the United States on 9 June 2009 by [[Downtown Records]]. A single for the track "Animal" was released on 17 February 2009. Upon a UK release of the song later in the same year, the track reached number ninety-eight on the [[UK Singles Chart]]. The second single is called "Black & Blue". Both singles have made the BBC Radio 1 Playlist B-List. ''[[The Guardian]]'' spoke highly of the band, saying Miike Snow's "coolly emotional pop suggests [[a-ha]] meets [[Animal Collective]]."<ref>{{cite web|author=Paul Lester |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/may/26/new-band-miike-snow |title=The Guardian on Miike Snow's sound |publisher=Guardian |date= |accessdate=2011-02-21}}</ref> In an interview for [[Clash (magazine)|ClashMusic.com]], Wyatt revealed their unexpected popularity, saying, "I don't think our project was that thought out when we started. We just wanted to make music together. Three people just messing about. I don't think we anticipated the level of attention that it's getting right now. We didn't even think about touring when we started the album."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clashmusic.com/feature/live-talking-miike-snow |title=Live Talking - Miike Snow &#124; Clash Music Exclusive Interview |publisher=Clashmusic.com |date=2009-08-13 |accessdate=2011-02-21}}</ref> Miike Snow have remixed tracks by [[Passion Pit]], [[Peter Bjorn and John]], [[Kings of Leon]], [[I Blame Coco]] and [[Vampire Weekend]]. Their music has been remixed by [[Mark Ronson]], [[Crookers]], [[Peter Bjorn and John]], [[Treasure Fingers]], [[Tiga (musician)|Tiga]], Caspa, Style of Eye, [[Emalkay]], [[Fake Blood]], Benny Blanco, Savage Skulls, Netsky, Hood Internet and DJ Mehdi, amongst others. A remix of the song "Silvia" by DJ's [[Sebastian Ingrosso]] and [[Dirty South (DJ)|Dirty South]] was released on 2 April 2010.
