“Little Dragon are set to hit the next level… Ritual Union is sensational” The Sunday Times

“Ritual Union makes it three albums without a remotely duff or dull moment” 4/5 Uncut

“A unique mix that sounds like little else out there” 
4/5 Mojo

“Nagano has one of the most fascinating pop voices... while the band juggle frostiness and warmth, the electronic and the analogue. It's all beautifully poised" Q

“Subtle yet sexily insistent, cool yet hot as hell, a sliver of digital funk basted in no small amount of alt.soul thanks to the excellent Yukimi Nagano” Time Out

“Captivating… Little Dragon provide a thrilling combination of down tempo electronics” DJ 

“8/10” Vice

 After a rain-stopping performance at Glastonbury last week, Little Dragon have announced a surprise London show at Corsica Studios as part of Boiler Room TV. The gig will be streamed live online between 7pm-8pm on Tuesday 18 July at http://www.boilerroom.tv/live

Having already been all over the airwaves with ‘Wildfire’ by SBTRKT on which they feature, they are is set to continue their meteoric rise to success with the release of ‘Ritual Union’ which has already bagged plays from Zane Lowe, Annie Mac and Lauren Laverne, who said they are “the coolest band in the world right now”. DJ Shadow seems to agree, having asked them to collaborate on a track for his long-awaited new album. The 12” and digital download will come with an acapella version of ‘Ritual Union’ and two remixes. One is a super smooth offering from on-the-rise German producer Tensnake and the other comes from house producer Maya Jane Cole, currently being streamed on iTunes here:

Since 2009’s critically acclaimed Machine Dreams they have not sat still, touring the globe and making some high profile friends along the way. Damon Albarn invited them to collaborate on two tracks for last year’s Gorillaz record Plastic Beach, which became album highlights for the critics with Pitchfork describing the songs ‘Empire Ants’ and ‘To Binge’ as “two of the most arresting things here; they’re airy, elusive and amazingly beautiful”. Similarly, David Sitek was so taken with singer Yukimi Nagano’s voice after touring with them in 2009, he asked her to lend some vocals to ‘If You Return’ from his solo project Maximum Balloon. And now Big Boi will be producing one of Little Dragon’s songs for his new album, after a certain Andre 3000 tipped him off. As if that wasn’t enough, they appear on Rafael Saadiq’s new album adding vocals to the sublime summer track ‘Just Don’t’.

Ritual Union the single will be release 25th July, with the remix EP to follow on the 15th August.

Lyrics:

Water the plants and feed the dogs
I’ll drive away to clear my thoughts
Rent out my room and sell what’s mine
I’ll be back someday and we’ll be fine

I know you try your best, you really do
You really do
But you’re not what I need right now
I love you, I really do

I know you try your best, you really do
But you’re not what I need right now
I love you, I still do

We are stars 
Made from the same matter
We drift apart just to regather
We are stars 
Made from the same matter
We drift apart just to regather

Tell my dear mother no reason to worry
I drove away ‘cause things have been blurry
Give her a kiss, pour her some wine
I’ll be back someday and we’ll be fine

I know you try your best, you really do
You really do
But you’re not what I need right now
I love you, I really do

I know you try your best, you really do
But you’re not what I need right now
I love you, I still do

We are stars 
Made from the same matter
We drift apart just to regather
We are stars 
Made from the same matter
We drift apart just to regather

We'll Be Fine
