Synth-pop trio Miike Snow’s self-titled debut was one of SPIN’s favorite albums of 2009, so expectations are high for the follow-up, Happy to You. First single “Paddling Out” is an auspicious preview, as Andrew Wyatt’s vaguely androgynous, compellingly moody vocal cuts melodically through Swedish pop-genii Bloodshy & Avant’s gleaming and ecstatic house-influenced production. The album is out March 27 on Downtown Records/Universal Republic.
