Music Thursday: Little Dragon

Photo: Sarah Cooper
Little Dragon is from Gothenburg, Sweden... (why do so many good bands from from Gothenburg?)  The dragon is made up of Yukumi Nagano (vocals and percussion), Erik Bodin (drums), Fredrick Källgren (bass), and Håkan Wirenstrand (keyboards). 

This from their bio, by Ulla Tom Tom:
"From the city of Gothenburg grew the birth of tiny creature.  Its breath full of fire passion death and dreams.  It lived in a fantasy called the electric forest. This forest was thick  with rustling secrets and  infintite amounts of pinetrees.   On occasional full moons the pine trees would light up in neon auras  of lime and turquoise and the ground would shake  with a steady rumble. The tiny creature grew into a little dragon.  It wrestled with the large wind sometimes. The heat of its breath would weave in with the cool air and make patterns in the sky. Although the creature was a powerful little beast it was light as a feather and would often sleep on the leaf flowing in the breeze.  And there it would dream in a dream. These dreams were without visuals and haunted by sounds.  electric sounds and beats would pump its little  heart and make her sleep walk around the forest like a ghost dancing in the night.
And the aching of this lonely creatures heart would be reflected in bittersweet melodies both haunting and happy." 

So, all I can say is that the music sounds just like all of that, and more.  Listen to a heap of songs on their myspace and dig the clips below...
