The discography of Miike Snow, a Swedish indie pop band, consists of two studio albums, one extended play (EP), seven singles (including one as a featured artist), and nine music videos. Formed in Stockholm in 2007, the band consists of Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg of production duo Bloodshy & Avant and American singer Andrew Wyatt.[1][2] The band has used the mythical jackalope (a rabbit with antlers)[3] as their signature logo since their inception, which initially gave them a mysterious image.[2][4] Miike Snow released their electropop and pop-tinged[5][6][7] eponymous debut album in May 2009, to positive reviews and a peak position of number 59 on the UK Albums Chart.[8] The album spawned three singles, two of which—"Animal" and "Black & Blue"—peaked in the top 100 of the UK Singles Chart.

The band collaborated with Italian DJ Crookers on the single "Remedy" in 2010,[9] and produced their second studio album Happy to You the following year.[10] Released in March 2012, the album features more diverse music than its predecessor and experienced similar critical success.[11][12] The album peaked in the top 40 in Australia, Denmark and the United Kingdom. The first single "Paddling Out" is among the band's most successful singles; its highest peak was at number nine on the Flemish Ultratip chart. Its music video is the first part in a continuous story that spawns throughout the videos for some of Happy to You‍‍ '​‍s tracks, including the second and third singles, "The Wave" and "Pretender".[10][13]
