Ultra Artist: Miike Snow’s Crossover Appeal Buoys New Album ‘iii’

While Ultra Music Festival is the crown gem of live dance music in America, from time to time an act will come out of left field and kick some crossover-appeal ass. This year Swedish dance-pop outfit Miike Snow is among the odd men in, returning from a three-year hiatus to play the massive EDM fest in Miami this month, as well as release a new album, iii, on March 4th.

Listen below to the single “The Heart Of Me,” which takes a leap at heartbreak through the band’s undiminished trademark pep. Pulsing, breathless and dabbling deep in psychedelia, the track is a promising sign of what’s to come with the release of iii.

Also on prime display is “Genghis Khan,” a track so delicious it’s been locked in our heads all week:
