Nearly two decades into a decidedly colourful career, Swedish cult heroes Little Dragon are back with Slugs Of Love on Ninja Tune. Once again melting down genres like weird and wonderful musical apothecaries, and as fun and innovative as ever, this one-of-a-kind pop-electronic-jazz-hip-hop-mania shouldn’t be missed. - Flying Out
Little Dragon, the much-loved Grammy-nominated Swedish band are set to release their new album Slugs Of Love, on Ninja Tune. Released alongside the announcement is new single Kenneth a soulful, lo-fi tribute to a childhood friend. “It's about friendship and love” the band explain, “and the dirt of getting caught in bitterness and taking the wrong turn mentally”. The band have once again teamed up with Unlimited Time Only (who have previously worked with Khruangbin, Leon Bridges, Teva and more) for a stunning and playful video to accompany the track.
Consisting of school friends Erik Bodin (drums and percussion), Fredrik Wallin (bass), Håkan Wirenstarnd (keyboards) and Yukimi Nagano (vocals), the band have gone on to become one of the most consistent, respected and universally loved bands of recent times. Recorded in the musical oasis of their Gothenburg Studio — the same studio they have worked in for almost 20 years — on Slugs Of Love they bring their distinctive blend of soulful pop, electronics and R&B — all underpinned by lead singer Yukimi’s instantly recognisable vocals — to the fore across 11 tracks that encapsulate the full range of their diverse individual musical influences.
