Swedish electro/neo-soul/indie band, Little Dragon has released a brand new single “Night Light,” the first off their third upcoming album Ritual Union which releases July 12th. You can listen to a preview of the track here:
They’ve also just announced new US & Europe tour dates including an intimate KCRW session on May 26th. You can enter to win tickets here . Recently, they performed the album’s title track on Jimmy Fallon , check out the video below.
I was first mesmerized by Little Dragon ‘s “Twice,” from their self-titled 2007 release but it’s been a 15-year journey for the group who is finally getting the recognition they deserve.
I honestly feel that grouping them into any one genre does them little justice.
The band’s lead singer, Yukimi Nagano has a voice so dynamic, unique, controlled, and soulful. And we’ll soon here it on Raphael Saadiq ‘s “Just Don’t” from his new album Stone Rollin’ .
