This song by Swedish/American triumvirate Miike Snow (it's the name of the band, and yes there are two I's in Miike) is all the rage with the kids these days and I feel like much less of a coot than I did in my last post for merely knowing it and posting it here.
Like much of today's music, this song broke wide open as a result of placements on television shows (mainly Gossip Girl), which after a few years of being the best source of income for songwriters and musicians (one spin on a popular television show nets the same as thousands of albums sold) is now become the best way to get exposure as well. When such fortune befalls a quality track like "Animal", it catches fire.
