Miike Snow förbereder releasen av sitt tredje album “III,” som förväntas dyka upp under 2016. För ett par veckor sedan delade den svensk-amerikanska gruppen med sig av albumets första singel “Heart Is Full,” som nu remixats av Run The Jewels. Det otippade samarbetet för samman två helt skilda genrer, med ett riktigt intressant resultat. Miike Snow’s Andrew Hyatt gav The Fader lite bakgrund till samarbetet, och förklarar hur uppspelt han blev när han fick reda på att RTJ var fans av Miike Snow:

“When we heard that RTJ were fans and down to get on this beat I was super excited… but cautiously so. I knew this was the type of beat that they could just eat for breakfast, but I was hoping that the whole thing wouldn’t come off sounding too retro. I was at [producent] Emile Haynie’s house when the email with the mix came through and so we stopped what we were doing to throw it up on the speakers. The moment Killer Mike launched into his verse, Emile and I couldn’t stop smiling; he had found that flow, the rhythm to his lines that was undeniable, the flow which was so huge as to transcend any trendiness in music and just be monolithically awesome. El-P continued riding that same vein – and it’s like a sledgehammer.”
