[liveblog]The Swedish electronic–pop trio Miike Snow creates music that camps out in your ears longer than caffeinated undergrads on the walk for Tiesto. With an arsenal of instruments that rivals that of your middle school band class (including a flugelhorn), this album is just as catchy as the first, but more spacious and better–paced. The mysterious and intimate vocals keep the sound grounded, and even sometimes hint at dark themes beneath the playfulness of the music. Songs like “Paddling Out” and “Pretender” will definitely keep you grooving around campus this spring.
