Galantis

Galantis began as two Swedish producers with separate careers behind them. Christian Karlsson had written and produced as Bloodshy, half of Bloodshy & Avant, and won a Grammy for Britney Spears’s “Toxic”; he was also in Miike Snow. Linus Eklöw recorded as Style of Eye. They began releasing together in 2013.

“Runaway (U & I)” broke them internationally in 2014 and was nominated for a Grammy for best dance recording; the album it came from, Pharmacy, followed in 2015.

The Aviary in 2017 carried the platinum “No Money”, and Church in 2020 included “Faith”, made with Dolly Parton — not a collaboration anyone predicted.

The pitched-up vocal that runs through nearly every record is the signature, and it is a writing decision rather than a production trick: both men came to this from songwriting, and the songs are the reason the records last.
