Gothenburg, Sweden

Little Dragon is a music group based in Gothenburg, Sweden.

YUKIMI NAGANO on vocals together with her close high-school friends Erik Bodin (drums), Fredrick Källgren (bass), and Håkan Wirenstrand (keyboards), Little Dragon’s first release was a double-A-side 7” single on Off The Wall and then signed to Peacefrog (home to José and Findlay Brown), “

Twice” / “

Test”.

Nagano was born and raised in Gothenburg to a Japanese father and American mother; she grew up listening to American folk because of her mother, but always had an affinity for r and b. Keyboardist Wirenstrand spent his childhood in Smaland before moving to Gothenburg, hearing a lot of Swedish folk music, later getting into electronic and synth music. Bodin grew up hearing early hip-hop and jazz. Fredrik who plays bass was influenced by experimental noise music electro house etc.

Nagano and Bodin play live with José González. Bodin also drums with Peps Perrson, a Swedish blues/reggae artist.

@lukew4ll I wasn't bitching about Pitchfork talking about them, I was just trying to preempt all the bitching that seems to come to these last.fm pages whenever Pitchfork really likes something. I'm totally happy Pitchfork gave them a good score, I probably wouldn't have found out about them at all if they hadn't.

But, but, but they didn't get best new music, so it doesn't count as pitchforked.

Their show at the Double Door was unreal. "A New" = Best opener possible.

itschinatown - i found out about them from pitchfork just by looking at the little description (swedish + electronic = i already knew i would love it). i didn't read the review but went straight to youtube. is that going to be a problem or am i alright?

I saw them perform in Costa Mesa last Friday. They were great. I got a hug and an autographed record from Yukimi after the show.
