Yukimi, Hakan, Erik and Frederik, who make big noises as Little Dragon, will be bringing out their new LP entitled Machine Dreams in August. The album is more experimental and strung-out than the lush, clean and stripped-down sound of their debut album and should see the band picking up a lot of new fans. Word is that they’ll be playing at the Giant Step event in Central Park on July 18th ‘longside Q-Tip and Benji B. 6 days later they’ll be in London, playing the Paul Hamlyn Hall at the Royal Opera House.

For a preview of their new material, check out ‘Fortune’, which sounds a bit like Jean-Jacques Perrey producing Charlotte Gainsbourg. The video was animated by Hideyuki Katsumata who also did the freaky ‘Machine Dreams’ cover.
