Little Dragon are back in the ring with their new album, Ritual Union. With its unique sound and rampant dynamics (3 albums in 5 years and countless collaborations), this band is ready to demonstrate its talent to the Rockhal's audience on 7 March 2012. They've won the hearts of some of the pillars of modern music and they'll seduce you without any problem.

Little Dragon's latest album creates the impression of a rhythmical dream, mixing R’n’B, new wave, electro and experimental pop. The opus was described as futuristic, and it mixes new rhythms with the atmosphere of their first record, Machine Dreams, which made them known to a larger audience. Since this success, the band spared no efforts and participated in numerous projects. Their eighties-influenced universe with a fluorescent background pleased Gorillaz who offered them a collaboration on the album Plastic Beach, as well as Dave Sitek, producer and member of TV on the Radio for his album Maximum Balloon ("If you return"), to name but a few.

Little Dragon's very first single is elected "single of the week" in the UK. The artwork incorporates a painting by the singer's father from the seventies, presenting a band which is truly out of the ordinary. They develop with time and become what is described as a band with an enchanting sound and very distinctive aesthetics.

This Swedish band came straight from Gothenburg with its very own sound, grew bigger in 2007 and signed a record deal with the British label PEACEFROG RECORDS. Yukimi Nagano (vocals and percussion), Erik Bodin (drums), Fredrik Källgren Wallin (bass) and Håkan Wirenstrand (keyboard) have met at high school and never separated ever since. They love their environment too much to let go of each other. Their studio proves it: it's their old flat. This may be an explanation for their unique music which becomes indispensable to hear and see because Little Dragon are more than music, they have created a universe of their own.

Some might think that their live performance is directed to a certain degree by improvisation. But then they didn't count on the singer with her discrete and unmistakable voice and the impressively rigorous musicians. They never improvise and calculate every little detail to create a perfect show. This eclectic fusion between electronic music and other inspirations from the eighties will enchant you with an exceptional concert on Wednesday, 7 March, at the Rockhal.
