The band’s newest work sprouted from a desire to bring airy lightness to the world, with Little Dragon inviting listeners to “dance for peace and unity in this world of madness.” Lead singer Yukimi Nagano adds, “The force of love. Not only between two people but the force of love in this universe as the ultimate ecstasy. Whether that is while you’re dancing at a disco forgetting where you are or just staring at the moon on a clear night, it can be anything. A swim in the ocean, a glance at a stranger–it’s a personal individual thing. Call it what you want but we have all felt it. So, embrace the great mystery of everything that your brain can’t grasp and lose track in the most beautiful sense.”

 

In celebration of the new EP, Little Dragon will return for a run of performances in the U.S. this fall, including two nights at Brooklyn’s Elsewhere and Washington, DC’s Rock & Roll Hotel. See dates below.
