When: Thursday 31st May
Where: Brixton Academy
Why: I’ll go to anything, me
I don’t even know how I got
into Miike Snow. I listened to (parts of) their first album a lot, and love Animal
and Silvia. I persuaded my flatmate to come see them live with me,
and she added their latest single Paddling Out to our Spotify party
playlist, so I knew she was cool with it. I’ve seen their name associated with
lots of other musicians I like, as they do a good remix do Miike Snow – such as
Depeche Mode, Passion Pit, I Blame Coco, Vampire Weekend… So they obviously
have good taste, which makes me feel like I do too. Because I do.
Having had no idea what to
expect, they were really impressive live – the academy was more atmospheric and
expectant than I’ve ever experienced it before (the lighting added to this a
lot) and their understated and coolly passionate performance was spot on. They’re
a class act.
Found
a fan video off of YouTube from when we saw them. It’s a bit wobbly but I
picked it because there’s a genius bit in the middle where the crowd tries to
sing falsetto.
