“If Yukimi Nagano's breathy voice and enigmatic presence aren't enough to lure you into Little Dragon's den, the foursome's cinematic arrangements and playfully suggestive lyrics should be. After breathing new life into an often repetitive genre with their self-titled debut in 2007, the band continues to surprise with their sophomore release, Machine Dreams, a minimalistic take on the place where dance, electronic, pop, and soul converge. Catch them tonight El Rey when they take the stage to deliver another heartfelt show.”

Gothenburg, Sweden is a hotbed of diverse and escalating musical talent. From the mighty Soundtrack of Our Lives to idiosyncratic songsmiths Jose Gonzalez and Jens Lekman, through to the unpredictable pop styles from the likes of Love is All and Audrey, not to mention the infamous black metal scene, Gothenburg now boasts the dynamic, organically soulful pop sounds of Little Dragon.
Little Dragon take tired musical traces and styles, give them a shot in the arm to leave us with something fresh and positive.
It is a debut full of subtle touches, capturing fleeting emotional moments, twinned with gnawingly memorable pop flourishes and hooks. Oh, and it reminds us of endless summer possibilities...
