Downtown Records. A single for the track "Animal" was released February 17, 2009.
The Guardian
spoke highly of the band, saying Miike Snow's "coolly emotional pop suggests
a-ha meets
Animal Collective"
[1]. Their single 'A Horse Is Not a Home' was the single of the week on the
UK iTunes store. In a recent interview with ClashMusic.com
[2], lead singer
Andrew Wyatt revealed their unexpected popularity, "I dont think our project was that thought out when we started. We just wanted to make music together. Three people just messing about. I don't think we anticipated the level of attention that its getting right now. We didnt even think about touring when we started the album".
