Ritual Union

VINYL FORMAT. Since 2009's critically acclaimed Machine Dreams, Little Dragons has not sat still, touring the globe and making some high profile friends along the way. No one in their right mind would have expected the future of soul music to come from Gothenburg, Sweden. But there it is in the dreamy, rhythmical, shifting, moody rainbow creature that is Little Dragon. It is easy to see why some of the world's top musical luminaries are falling over themselves to work with them. Stylishly seductive in their own right, their 2007 self-titled debut was filled with classy songwriting and cool production. Machine Dreams showed a bouncier side, as they flexed their dancing nous and came up with an album that would turn Prince's head. Damon Albarn invited them to collaborate on two tracks for last year's Gorillaz record Plastic Beach, which became album highlights.
