July 26th is the official drop date for Ritual Union, Little Dragon's latest album! I mentioned it before but feel you needed a little nudgey nudge. CALENDER IT! You can sample the tracks on AMAZON!! Check it!
Enjoy the rain this weekend. Clean your house. Snuggle with yo hunny. Eat, Drink, Love. Just stay dry. On another note: Adele's Saturday concert has been cancelled and rescheduling is up in the air at this point. Poor girl. She needs to put those damn cigarettes down! See ya'll Monday!
Little Dragon's new CD, Ritual Union is set to be released in July and I'm shivering with anticpation to hear it all. The first single from the album, Night Light was released in early April and man does it sound gooood. You can tell from the track that they are continuing their journey into a more experimental sound. Whereas thier first album had a strong vocal R&B-Funk sound, Machine Dreams and Ritual Union are electronic beat and killer vocals driven. Yakimi Nagano's vocals are really what make Little Dragon. Her voice is so unique you'd recognize it no matter what kinda music accompanies it. (check out today's first post for proof). Little Dragon will be performing at UCLA Jazz/Reggae Festival later this month and in August will be joining an insane line-up @ Outside Lands in San Francisco. I got two new songs below so check it.
If you're a Little Dragon fan you probably can't get enough of uber-talented Yukimi Nagano's distinctive sound. She's done vocals for Koop, Gorillaz and most recently SBTRKT. Twitter is abuzz with tweets raving about the track, Wildfire. It's SBTRKT at it's best, just pureblood smooth shiz. They also did a great remix of Never, Never off of Little Dragon's last CD Machine Dreams [correction]. Stay tuned for a Night Light update! Check it, love it.
