Little Dragon
Ritual Union

Peacefrog

WE SAY

With its addictive groove and soulful vocal, Ritual Union is an excellent piece of electro-pop which looks set to push Little Dragon onto the edge of mainstream success.  Among an impressive roll-call of collaborators so far includes Damon Albarn, who invited Little Dragon to feature on two tracks on Gorillaz' Plastic Beach. SBTRKT flew Swedish-Japanese vocalist Yukimi Nagano over from their native Gothenberg to collaborate on Wildfire - one of his debut album's highlights. Now Andre 3000 has tipped Big Boi off about the band, leading to an invite for them to perform on his next album. Radio coverage has started strongly with 6 Music supporting with a playlist addition and a Lauren Laverne live session and interview scheduled to happen this month. Ritual Union could be their tipping point with Radio 1 support lined up in the shape of an Annie Mac mini-mix the week of release.
