Bleep

Third LP from Swedish electronic-pop troupe Little Dragon, a record that witnesses their stock currently surging on a dramatic upward curve. When SBTRKT enlisted the vocal of Yukimi Nagano for his recent full-length, those who'd previously never laid ears on her singular talent, it was a revelation. To the rest of us - a deep fondness for 09's Machine Dreams intact - this was merely Nagano getting the kudos she deserved. Her band ain't half bad as well - purveyors of sleek, minimal, romantic, hook-drenched pop music carved by beautifully designed synth-modes and fiery live arrangements.
