Little Dragon
Late night vibes from Yukimi Nagano's new band Little Dragon
Little Dragon - Twice [mp3] (Little Dragon)
After hearing an inventive little live set on Gilles Peterson's Worldwide show, I've been getting into the deep, late-night vibes of Little Dragon. The band features the vocal talents of sometime Koop collaborator Yukimi Nagano backed by a tight selection of piano, percussion and electronics. Yukimi's vocals flit between a lulling Dani Siciliano, confident Roisin Murphy and a slight softer version of Ms Winehouse, while the tunes revolve around a deep-jazzy sound, somewhat akin to Jazzanova. The production's solid, but not overly staid, keeping things a little more liquid than the usual Nu-Jazz thang. Beautifully chilled and highly recommended.
If you like, don't forget to buy. You can get it duuurrhm free from 7 Digital.
