A musical trio who actually formed in 2005, Swedish House Mafia had international dance hits with songs like "One," "Save the World," "Greyhound," and their parting shot, "Don't You Worry Child," which went #1 in three countries and charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #6 in the U.S. Even LCD Soundsystem, whose Shut Up and Play the Hits had a similar eulogizing tone, managed to pull off more than that.īut here we are, faced with Leave the World Behind, a document of Swedish House Mafia's fifty-date world tour to lay their musical endeavor to rest.
