Little Dragon are a new group from Gothenburg, Sweden specializing in the nujazz, broken beat area. Their first single was a limited edition 7" vinyl record, which features two tracks:
A Test
B 4Ever
Both tracks definitely have that nordic jazz feel to them, slightly more electronic than straightforward broken beat. 'Test' is a fine little cut, which grows on you the more you listen to it with a wonderful back drop which just resonates in your head.. Oh i forgot to mention the singer in the group, a little known (ahum) Yukmimi Nagano. If you're thinking you know that name, well she IS the singer in Koop, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Sleepwalker and numerous other singles. Her vocals match perfectly with the beats, as shown in the B-side 4ever.
This is the only single the group have released, but is a wonderful little introduction. Really mellow, soothing, perfect for those late night chill sessions.
