Little Dragon are right at the top of their game.
Swedish quartet Little Dragon’s fifth album ‘
Season High’ finds them going ever deeper into the sort of emotion filled club ready bangers that have become their calling card.
They’re a band who’ve always been out on their own, carrying on on their own blissful path, never content to jump on trends or find themselves coasting on a bandwagon. Here, they again showcase an immaculate gift for dynamics and when to bring things up, like on the brash 80s dancefloor banger ‘
Celebrate’ and bring things down, like on the stirring dramatic centrepiece ‘
Butterflies’.
Much of the beauty within their music comes in the stunning vocals of Yukimi Nagano who shines throughout. It’s her star power and vocal charisma that give pop hits like ‘
Sweet’ and ‘
Strobe Light’ their bounce and swing. They don’t often get the credit for it, but Little Dragon can dish out bangers with the best of them.
