The Swedish electronic pair broke through with 'Runaway (U & I)' and have kept the festival energy going for over a decade.
For their sound at its most defining, 'Runaway (U & I)' still holds up. 'Tears For Later' shows how they work with guest vocalists while keeping that Galantis energy intact.
When 'Runaway (U & I)' hit in 2014, it gave electronic music a specific kind of melodic lift that felt both nostalgic and forward-looking. That track's bright synth lines and vocal hooks became their signature, showing up in later songs like 'Tears For Later' with Don Diablo. They've managed to keep that energy alive through multiple albums and festival sets at places like Coachella and Tomorrowland.
Christian Karlsson and Linus Eklöw started working together in 2012, with early single 'Smile' gaining traction in Sweden. Their 2014 breakthrough 'Runaway (U & I)' established their international presence, leading to albums like Pharmacy in 2015 and Church in 2020. They've continued releasing music through the 2020s, with Dreamer arriving in 2023.
