Little Dragon LOVER CHANTING EP Out Now via Ninja Tune
By: Tori Hartshorn Nov. 09, 2018
Scandinavian luminaries Little Dragon have today released Lover Chanting, their first ever EP and the band's first release with iconic label Ninja Tune. The three-track EP is the band's deepest dive into dance music and was self-produced by Little Dragon in their Gothenburg studio.
Little Dragon wanted to bring new music into the world that has an airy and fun lightness to it. "For all the lovers out there, chant along! Dance for peace and unity in this world of madness!" declare the band. Lead singer Yukimi Nagano adds that the EP is about, "The force of love. Not only between two people but the force of love in this universe as the ultimate ecstasy. Whether that is while you're dancing at a disco forgetting where you are or just staring at the moon on a clear night, it can be anything. A swim in the ocean, a glance at a stranger--it's a personal individual thing. Call it what you want but we have all felt it. So, embrace the great mystery of everything that your brain can't grasp and lose track in the most beautiful sense."
The Lover Chanting EP showcases the forward-facing, pioneering spirit that has cemented Little Dragon's status as one of the most universally adored outfits working today. They will also continue their close relationship with photographer David Uzochukwu with the release of a new book of unpublished imagery taken while David traveled with the band on the road over the last 18 months.
