Named after a tag Nagano was given in response to her occasionally fiery studio temperament, the band made their recorded debut in 2006 with the "Test" single, released on the independent Scandinavian label Off the Wall. Yukimi Nagano (vocals, keyboards, percussion), Erik Bodin (drums, keyboards), Fredrik Wallin (keyboards, bass, percussion), and HÃ¥kan Wirenstrand (keyboards, drums) formed Little Dragon in their native Gothenburg, Sweden. Throughout their career, they've expanded their audience with a shrewd and continuous array of featured appearances on recordings by Gorillaz, SBTRKT, Kaytranada, and Flying Lotus, among several other artists. Since then, they've added to their discography with releases such as Season High (2017) and New Me, Same Us (2020). chart with Nabuma Rubberband (2014), which earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album. The band made their full-length debut with Little Dragon (2007), the source of the chilling ballad "Twice," beginning a streak of Top Five dance/electronic albums with Ritual Union (2011), and hit the Top 15 of the U.K.
At the same time, they've naturally incorporated a left-field mix of contemporary R&B, hip-hop, and underground dance music with references dating back to disco, new wave, and classic vocal jazz.
Instantly recognizable by the coolly expressive vocals of Yukimi Nagano, the output of Swedish quartet Little Dragon could be summarized as predominantly downtempo electronic pop.
