30/01/10: MIIKE SNOW- Silvia

Sweden has introduced music fans to some great artists over the past few years, from the likes of Basshunter to Robyn. Next to arrive on the scene is experimental music band Miike Snow, and with a blinding hit like this you just know they're going to be tearing up the scene over here in the UK.

'Silvia' is simply a beautiful song, produced from a combination of piano keys, electro beats and soothing vocals. Singer/songwriter Andrew Wyatt doesn't have a phenomenal voice, but this isn't designed to be a phenomenal song- it just does it's job through sheer simplicity. With some outstanding lyrics ('and you tell yourself you won't let them touch, did I say too much, did I say enough') and a varying tempo throughout, 'Silvia' will leave you wanting to hear more.

It's shocking that Miike Snow haven't had such a big impact on the charts lately. It's easy to argue that their music isn't anything new, but 'Silvia' is a brilliantly produced track that is difficult to ignore.
