another swedish group (what's the effin' deal?), miike snow, released their self-titled debut lp in may and i'm pretty unhappy that i didn't catch on sooner. it's no surprise that two of the three dudes that are miike snow are responsible for producing music for spears, minouge and madonna (club ready!). though in contrast, some of their original tracks sound more like indie-rock. i've been listening to some great remixes of their work since mid-spring (dj mehdi, treasure fingers). good stuff. they're a really versatile group, each song seems stylistically different - after listening to five of their tracks, i'm hearing some similarities to the melancholy in carpark north, the playful use of instrumentation like metronomy, the rhythm section from whitest boy and for some reason the vocals occasionally sound like bowie (especially in "song for no one.") check out the album on itunes.

Hot damn. Good shit if i've ever seen it.
At Mercury Lounge Sept 15/16 in NYC. Nice. Oh an at TT The Bears in the great Cambridge, MA for Boston folk
I love this. Def. going to see in September.
Black and blue has been picked up by Sony for their new ad campaign over here for Sony Center (or something). I'm now looking for a good remix. The ones from Savage Skulls and Tiga didn't really do it for me.
