The verdict on SBTRKT and Little Dragon‘s sizzling “Wildfire” team up: Ten dancing thumbs up.

When that shy tribal beat comes in, you still have no idea that a hot synthy bass is on its way to come sweep you off your feet. That sexy, dub synth should be a sin–a booty-movin’ sin. (...) Read More about SBTRKT: Wildfire (Feat. Little Dragon) (52 words)

Musical innovator and genius behind Maximum Balloon, Andrew Sitek, begins this track with an immediate capture. The funky and electronic sound is reminiscent of cats playing auto tuned pianos. What makes this song all the better is that it was a collaboration with one of my all time favorite bands, Little Dragon. The fun flutes, distorted buzzes, and chirping melodies in the background really pull this piece together. It’s just really fun to dance to.(...) Read More about Maximum Ballon: If You Return ft.

Little Dragon‘s sophomore album, ‘Machine Dreams,’ is the best girly, poppy, pretty, synthy, dreamy, tender, longing, haunting, swirling, moody, boundary-pushing, toe-tapping, infectious, and cool record to come out of Sweden since Lykke Li’s ‘Youth Novels.’

A good portion of the universe should know about Little Dragon by now; they are far from little. The city of Gothenburg in Sweden [well, Sweden in general] seems to be the mother that births all catchy loveable music. The Knife, Jose Gonzalez, and Jens Lekman to name a few others. The lead singer of Little Dragon, Yukimi, has a jazz vocal background which is evident in her highly addictive soulful voice; the perfect main ingredient for such a musical meal. There are girls that sound black but are actually white, but this femme sounds black but is actually Japanese! Listen to one single song one single time and you’re hooked, no matter the mood you’re currently in or attempting to channel in the near future. This particular song speaks of the obstacle course we call life that stresses us then rests us, tests us and depresses us. Emotions darken and lighten as minds get lost over and over again just to find another way back with an entirely different view. Test is actually from their 2007 self titled [and first] album but don’t think they broke up and went solo like all the rest; they released a new album recently by the name of Machine Dreams.
