LITTLE DRAGON
Hey there. This is Little Dragon. We're a band from the beautiful city of Gothenberg, Sweden. We formed back in 1996, when we were in high school, but we only started to release recorded music back in 2006. (Our first release was a 7" released on Off The Wall records). Yukimi is our singer, Erik plays the drums, Fred plays the bass, and Håkan plays keys. Our first album, Little Dragon, came out in 2007, and our second album, Machine Dreams, came out in 2009. In addition to making our own music, we love collaborating with other musicians. We've worked with everyone from Jose Gonzalez and SBTRKT to Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio and Gorillaz.

We started a collaboration with HUGO Tracks back in June, right around the time that our most recent album, Ritual Union, came out. Since then, we've been posting free downloads of our music, little videos of ourselves on tour and such here on the HUGO Blog. Keep an eye out for more updates. We'll be posting soon!

STUNNING VIDEO BY DJ SHADOW FEAT. LITTLE DRAGON

Some weeks ago we already posted this nice track of DJ Shadow with the vocals of our singer Yukimi. Watch now the mesmerizing video featuring World Memory Champion Ben Pridmore who speaks about the stories behind memory sequences and how it relates to memorizing the order of cards in a deck. Awesome!

BEHIND THE SCENES: THE LITTLE DRAGON VOGUE PHOTOSHOOT

What an amazing experience it was to be in a VOGUE photoshoot! The magazine asked us to pose in HUGO for a spread in the October edition of L’Uomo Vogue, so we trucked down to the studio to do our finest threads behind the camera. Luckily HUGO brought along its camera crew to film this little documentary. A great reminder of the day for us, and a nice little peak behind the scenes for you. Enjoy!

LITTLE DRAGON GETS BETTER, BACK ON THE ROAD

Hey everybody. Little Dragon here with an update. We had to cancel our European tour a few weeks back, because Fred, our bass player, got sick, and the doctors told him to get some rest. But now there’s great news! Fred’s feeling much better, and we were able to reschedule almost all of our shows! We’re really looking forward to seeing you out. We really missed you!

DJ SHADOW FEAT. LITTLE DRAGON: SCALE IT BACK

Our singer Yukimi has recorded a track with DJ Shadow and we would say it is one of the best tracks of his upcoming album “The Less You Know The Better”. Yukimi´s voice and Shadow´s live instrumentation form a perfect union. You should definitely check the rest of the album when you get a chance, too.

SECONDS BY LITTLE DRAGON: FREE DOWNLOAD!

Hey everyone. It’s been a while since we gave you an update here on the HUGO Blog. If you bought our new album, ‘Ritual Union’, on vinyl or CD, you got a track that the folks who only bought digital didn’t get. ‘Seconds’ is the name of the song… it’s a playful little lullaby. Because we didn’t want you to be left out if you got the digital version, we’ve now posted it up for free on our brand new site, and as a double bonus, there’s an instrumental version and a special remix by our friend Syd The Kyd. Enjoy!

LITTLE DRAGON WHO’S WHO: YUKIMI NAGANO

For the past week, we’ve been introducing all the members of our band, Little Dragon. Today we present to you the last (and most certainly not least) member, Miss Yukimi Nagano. Yukimi is not just our singer. She also can do a mean Kate Bush imitation, and she’s rumored to have been a former goth girl in high school. She also has a super cool haircut.
