The upcoming live schedule sees Miiike Snow continuing to celebrate last year’s acclaimed third studio album,iii. The album – which includes the hit singles/videos “Genghis Khan,” “My Trigger,” and “Heart Is Full” – isavailable nowin stores and at all online retailers.
“GenghisKhan” – the lead single fromiii– proved both a critical success and a top 10 favorite at Alternative outlets nationwide upon its arrival last year. The track’s ingenious companion video has now drawn more than 16 million individual views at YouTube alone while also drawing online attention fromBuzzfeed, which declared the “campy, dance-filled clip” to be “delightfully out there.”In addition, “Genghis Khan” was honored with Britain’sD&ADAwardsin the categories of “Direction For Music Videos” and “Choreography For Music Videos,” as well as the “Best Performer” prize at the Berlin Music Video Awards. Perhaps more significant was the unique popularity “Genghis Khan” received on Tumblr. The clip’s deconstruction and reinvention of traditional spy movie gender roles led to the seemingly spontaneous creation of countless memes and fan art,promptingThe Daily Dotto note how the video “has spawned the first viral microfandom of 2016.”
Miike Snow spent much of last year on the road, highlighted by some oftheir biggest US dates thus far, including a spectacular show at New York City’s famed Radio City Music Hall. The schedule also saw the band making an array of festival appearances, withBillboardhailing their set at San Francisco, CA’s Outside Lands as one of the event’s “11 Best Moments."
