Now you're talking, i dont know if many ppl know this band but they are dope as fuck, i was just bumping their debut album today, for those who dont about them their a Swedish band with front woman Yukami Nagano, their sound is wrapped in a fog of neo-pop with hints of nu-wave and jazz that is hard to describe without sounding too pretentious but Once you hear their music, you’ll find it hard to dislike them.

Ill post some tracks later biggrin

Obsessive fan - right here!

Bought their debut last Christmas and the rest is history. Next thing I knew it was January and I was at their concert @ The Electric Pickle in Miami (a show I'll never forget), buying the follow-up "Machine Dreams," and totally invested in their career. They excite me that much.

It's truly a shame they're still under the radar...but discovering them has totally given me some music to look forward to. They are pop, but so much more than that; their music blends my favorite genres well - jazz (with constantly morphing song arrangements and melodies), soul (in Yukimi's gorgeous, agile, emotional voice) and electronica (that ranges from slow and hypnotic to fast and frantic) - and they've created a very interesting sound that has yet to wear on me.

A couple of my friends that I used to call are music heads can't get into Little Dragon...and they're aware I'm ready to bring out the johnwoo on 'em for saying it.

I'll post tracks as well woot!

yes, very interesting band.
very accessible pop, I don't understand why they're not huge

small circles, big wheels!
I've got a pretty firm grip on the obvious!

This is my favorite song, period. lol

The way it happened wasn't even obvious, like hearing it for the first time and going, "THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG." It just crept up on me, like I noticed after awhile that I was listening to it alot.

...Alot. lol

And I can vouch for their amazing-ness live.. They extended songs into forms only hinted at within the pop strictures of their recordings. They grooved.
