The iconic Swedish 4-piece Little Dragon - spearheaded by vocalist Yukimi Nagano - return with a new and utterly beguiling blend of avant pop on their album Slugs of Love out on Ninja Tune, inviting outright legend Damon Albarn (Gorillaz, Blur) and rapper JID (J Cole / Dreamville) for collabs. The record features the singles 'Slugs of Love', 'Frisco', 'Stay (feat. JID)' and 'Kenneth'.
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.
