I swear I ride the bus with this guy in the morning. Featured here is the video for 'Black and Blue', from Swedish indie pop band Miike Snow. Miike Snow, not just one guy but rather a 3-piece band, has yet to release a follow up to their 2009 self titled release. And while fans of the band are on the edge of their seats waiting for more, you can't really blame them for coasting off of the success of their first record for a while. Surfacing out of what seemed like thin air, the Miike Snow album was not only a beginning-to-end, easy-to-love hit record in the U.S. and abroad, but it also spawned a must-remix relationship with incredibly notable bands. The likes of Mark Ronson, Crookers and Peter Bjorn and John have released remixed versions of songs off of the Miike Snow record. Turning the tables, Miike Snow was asked to remix songs for Depeche Mode, Passion Pit and Kings of Leon. Word has it, a la their facebook page, they're working on a new record. Finally.
