Music news Little Dragon breathes soulful electronica stateside

"We have a lot of dreams," says Little Dragon singer Yukimi Nagano. With a sound that's airy but heavy as fog, and otherworldly yet completely down to earth, it's a reasonable declaration.
Far from their homeland of Gothenburg, Sweden, the foursome's increased tour schedule (including its first Atlanta appearance, courtesy of Shameless Plug) has informed Little Dragon's move from R&B-inspired grooves toward more uptempo songs. "I think that definitely having been on tour a lot made us want to not make an album full of ballads. We don't want to play concert halls, we want to play clubs where people are dancing and stuff," Nagano says.
