New Little Dragon! Nabuma Rubberband will be released May 13th. Enough said.
Actually, one more thing: the illustrious NABIL handled Creative Director duties on this one. Dude is a beast.
Yukimi, Fred, Erik, and Hakan answer a few questions in this interview and then perform two unreleased, never heard before songs: “Sunshine” and a cover of the Eurythmics’ “Here Comes The Rain Again.” Easily one of my favorite bands in music these days…
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…
