Our friends from Sweden just killed it at Nectar last week…again…and I stumbled across their new video for “My Step,” one of my favorite records off 2009’s Machine Dreams. Be on the lookout for the new album soon!
If you missed it, peep our last interview with the band here:
While in town last night for a show at Nectar, J. Moore and I got a chance to hang out with one of our favorite groups, Little Dragon, aboard their tour bus. Yukimi, Erik, Fredrik, and Håkan talked about their current US tour, their record label situation, the success of the band so far, how their collaboration with the Gorillaz came about, their early plans for the next album, and more.
If you haven’t checked out both their self titled debut and last year’s Machine Dreams, I really can’t recommend Little Dragon enough. They can flip pretty much any style, they’re supremely talented, and above all, they’re good people. Additionally, when you see them perform live, you can just tell that they love music. It may sound silly, but not a lot of artists seem to share Little Dragon’s passion for creating and enjoying the music they make. It really comes through on record and in their live performances. They’re destined for big things…
I must say, the video effects are slightly off-putting, but with a song as good as this, I don’t mind. Off the excellent Machine Dreams and also one of the tracks that made our Sound Session Best of 2009 edition. Yukimi is the truth.
I need to find some time to get our interview with Little Dragon posted up…I swear it’s coming soon. I hope.
