Miike Snow : 'Silvia'

Miike Snow : 'Silvia'

 

Released: 25th January 2010

Label: Columbia Records

 

Despite the production powerhouse, Miike Snow is composed of; Bloodshy & Avant – who won a Grammy for Britney’s 'Toxic' – and lead singer/producer Andrew Wyatt, 'Silvia' is remarkably restrained, middle of the road even.

A low-fi, indie trance opening makes way for conventional electronica, which extends to no more than a mild raise in tempo and distortion. More 90s chill-out trance than 2010 avant-garde electronic pop. Despite this, it is annoyingly infectious – an Enya of the synth world.

 

3/5
