Little Dragon - Season High (New CD)

2017 release, the first album in three years from the Swedish outfit. Trailblazers: the standard bearers in today”s burgeoning electronic/R&B genre that they helped create. Collaborators: a band”s band. Well respected by other artists with whom they”ve featured and produced with, made remixes for, and/or performed with. Now comes Little Dragon”s most complete full-length album effort to date (Season High). It”s a set of exquisite personal songs that showcases Nagano”s balance of numerous soulful vocal traditions, while blending the group”s far-flung influences into a singular, post-”80s synthetic soul-club sound. Coming as it does at a time when pop-club culture is exploring more emotional and soulful approaches, and when contemporary R&B is re-engaging with the broader 4/4.
