This is a triple feature, so a bit of a treat. I would like to introduce you to Miike Snow. Not a man spelling his name uniquely, but rather a swedish indie pop band that brings an array of bass and synths that leave you dancing even to melancholy filled lyrics. On their second album, Happy to You, that came out last year they released a series of music videos directed by Andreas Nilsson. The videos capture a surreal blend of horror, comedy, oddity and art in such a way that the viewer is glued to the screen with eyes wide open. The three videos together create a strange story of adjusting to life all over again when everything has been changed and you have become a man named Jean Noel, or actually you can interpret it any way, because, oh man it is strange, and wonderful.
