Thanks to Swedish House Mafia, it feels like 2010 again. Back then, electronic dance music was enjoying its heyday. And Swedish House Mafia were emblematic of the scene at the time—cohesive and tight-knit, but combustible and ready to explode. You couldn’t go to a music festival without hearing the visceral, signature sound of the trio, who dominated the circuit like Michael Jordan in Game 6. Generational anthems like “Miami 2 Ibiza” and “Don’t You Worry Child” soundtracked the EDM boom of the early 2010s, a timeframe which Swedish House Mafia conjured with their long-awaited debut album, Paradise Again. Released just days ago, the record functioned as a neurotransmitter, triggering the elusive serotonin rush that fans thought would never happen aga...

And just like that, they’re back. It’s hard to believe we’re just now hearing the debut album from Swedish House Mafia. Sauntering at the pinnacle of an eruptive EDM boom in the early 2010s, the trio had reached the promised land on the heels of their many generational dance anthems. But a fractured dynamic in the band led to its shocking disbandment, which deflated the electronic music community like a left hook from Mike Tyson. And as Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell, and Steve Angello explored solo endeavors, the group’s detachment ultimately settled in as an axiom that their once-harmonic relationship had gone irretrievably sour. But even the most broken things can heal with time. That brings us to today, when Swedish House Mafia finally released Paradise Ag...
