Miike Snow is - are - in a playful mood. The second, somewhat orchatronic, album by the three-headed-band with the one-man-name and mysterious Jackalope symbol is called Happy To You. Why? "It's a sign in the studio," shrugs tattooed Swedish producer Christian Karlsson. "An old mis-spelt phrase postcard from Thailand. Nothing to do with any of the songs... but it sort of stuck." The band that should never have worked have turned a new corner, and turned myriad new tricks. Miike Snow's second album is a triumph of tunes, set to burn up airwaves and dancefloors and festival-fields through 20 12 and beyond. "Before this album, we were an idea," reflects Pontus Winnberg. "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."
