Artist:Miike Snow
Song:My Trigger
Album:iii
The Swedish band Miike Snow started out as producers and turned into a band when they met singer Andrew Wyatt. They have had success as an album and touring band. Christian "Bloodshy" Karlsson and Pontus "Avant" Winberg were childhood friends in Gothenberg, Sweden. Karlsson was a member of the Swedish hip hop band Goldmine. After they both moved to Stockholm in 2000, Karlsson and Winberg started working together as Bloodshy & Avant. They produced several artists. But the big one is they won a Best Dance Recording Grammy for the 2003 Britney Spears single Toxic. While working with Britney, they met visiting American singer songwriter Andrew Wyatt and decided to form a band. Wyatt is from New York. He was in the band The A.M. who recorded one album and split up. The band name Miike Snow is after one of their friends with an "i" added because they liked how it looked. It is not a tribute to Japanese director Takashi Miike though they like his films. Miike Snow has recorded three albums for Downtown Records. They have bounced around a couple of distributors but are currently with Universal. My Trigger is the third single from Miike Snow's third album iii. Like all their songs, My Trigger was written and produced by the band. It's based on the 2006 J Dilla song The Diff'rence which sampled the 1974 Kool & the Gang song Fruitman. This is their latest album and it's available as a budget CD. Miike Snow occasionally performs but it remains to be seen if they will record again. Karlsson lives in Bangkok and Wyatt is a very busy songwriter. He won a 2019 Best Original Song Oscar for Shallow from A Star Is Born. He also wrote and produced with Mark Ronson the music for the 2023 film Barbie. Don't be surprised if he gets another Oscar. So I think Wyatt is about to get busier. Here's the video for My Trigger by Miike Snow.
