MUSIC TO CREATE BY [DECEMBER 07]
Sometimes you just need to deviate.
Credit where it’s due: I first heard LITTLE DRAGON on the Soulsearching radio show (Michael Ruetten). And since then on both the Deviations radio show (Benji B) and Worldwide (Gilles Peterson).
The luscious voice you hear in these Little Dragon tunes is that of the remarkable Yukimi Nagano. She and the crew hail from Sweden and don’t play. Before you judge what you think of Swedish music, just listen. You won’t be sorry. You also might recognize her voice from groups like Koop and Hird and assorted other bangers.
Listen to the tracks after the jump …
[Note: again, you'll have to excuse the ugliness of the music player below in relation to the design of this site. Although imeem just signed some major agreements with Universal (a former employer of mine) to be able to legally play all kinds of music, they still haven't gotten their user-modifiable parameters together. Whew, that sounds geeky.]
I just discovered Little Dragon like 2 weeks ago and it became my first ever itunes album purchase
Little Dragon is THE ONE! (or the many, depending on how you look at it).
Muhsinah is my now!
