Little Dragon, “Blinking Pigs” MP3

September 29, 2009


Yukimi Nagano's airy baduizms are a beautiful thing, and after her Sweden-based group Little Dragon gained a cult American following off its first online album and a series of twinkly videos, the band is releasing the slightly more electronic-based Machine Dreams and touring its face off. "Blinking Pigs" starts out like some chemistry fanatic's basement noise project, then whorls into what Little Dragon does best: make easy-breezy, souljazz-flecked pop songs as a proscenium for Nagano's dreamy warbles. The new record drops October 20, tour dates after the jump.
