High school bands can last. Little Dragon proves this as they release their seventh album in twenty-five years. Perhaps the secret is stability, as the Swedish quartet have once again based themselves in their studio in their hometown of Gothenburg.Stability has also prevailed on the musical front, even if things didn’t always go to plan. The band originally wanted to embark on a triple album, with a romantic record, another of dance music and a third of mystical forest folk. They changed their minds when they recognised the unfeasible scale of the project, and toned it down to "an old-fashioned album", as Little Dragon's lead singer Yukimi Nagano puts it.
The album showcases the full range of the Swedish combo's sound: it starts out with groovy R&B (notably Frisco and its irresistible 90's feel) before arriving on the decisive single Slugs of Love, which is more raw; a real find, with its infectiously energetic bass line. After that, there's a short, 80s inflected, tunnel between disco and electro-funk (Disco Dangerous, Stay), then a soul/funky turn (with the exceptional Kenneth) and a climax on Glow featuring Damon Albarn (who launched them into orbit in 2010 by inviting them on the Gorillaz album Plastic Beach). The Swedes and the Englishman combine on a synth ballad that's a little psychedelic and a little dark, before concluding on a pop-folky note. The result is an album with no mistakes and no downtime, and songs that stick in your head; stability pays off. © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz
