Band-O-Week: Miike Snow

How this fella escaped from me I'm not sure. I would think a fine man like this would not have flown under my radar, but he did. I found the album and proceeded to obsessively listen for the past two weeks. I wanted to write this sooner, but in all honestly, I'm having a hard time describing how this music makes me feel. It's completely new. Everything about it meshes into this wave of happiness...sadness...goodness. Wonderful.

At the beginning of each song, I have to force myself to take this deep breath to prepare for what's coming. Like a new lover, at first I would anticipate each song, riddled with nervousness because I didn't know how it would make me feel. Then, after a couple of times through, I got this amazing comfort from each and every song on his debut album.

I know I should stop listening, it's getting to be too much, but damn, I just can't help myself. I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment? But, at this point I really could not care less...because it feels so great right now. I can't even tell you my favorite part, or favorite song...much like that lover's body...all of it is good, different and wonderful. Savor each song and you'll know what I mean.
