Little Dragon

The debut album from soulful electronic pioneers, Little Dragon, originally released in 2007, was initially a record slept on as no one in their right mind would have expected the future of soul music to come from Gothenburg, Sweden.

With hindsight it is easy to see why some of the world’s top musical luminaries went onto fall over themselves to work with them. Includes the must own classics: “Twice”; a master class in low key pop, with a sparse piano line offset by classy strings and woozy synth wobbles; it is restrained, but never detached; and “Constant Surprises” where Yukimi’s delicious vocal skips and glides atop hi-hats and bubbling bass laying down the bands distinct soulful credentials
