I don't like MGMT much. Come to think of it, I don't even like Passion Pit that much (or at all) - and while Miike Snow's eponymous debut reeks of the same electro-indie stylings as both artists, Miike Snow is actually really good. The album is produced flawlessly and its premise doesn't wear thin. Best yet, the hooks are obvious and catchy-as-hell while still maintaining a distinct depth that is completely unique to Miike Snow's brand of pop. Forget your bad history with "electronica indie pop" or whatever you want to classify this as - Miike Snow seriously rules.
Also, I'm new around here as well. I like Elliot Smith too, if you care.
ALBUM: MIIKE SNOW - MIIKE SNOW
Silvia is really great.
ReplyDeleteI can listen to that one MGMT song, you know, the one my mom likes, but I can't get through 10 seconds of this guy's vocals. That was the quickest download and deletion from my iTunes in a while. Maybe it has something to do with the E. Smith posting a few days ago and catching up with that old discography. I'm in that sort of mood and this Snow ain't cuttin'it right now. Maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I would've imagined by reading the description you would've assumed that this isn't in vain of Elliot Smith... at all.
