Little Dragon: Slugs Of Love (Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP
"Little Dragon, the much-loved Grammy-nominated Swedish release their new album Slugs Of Love on Ninja Tune. Recorded in the musical oasis of their Gothenburg Studio — the same studio they have worked in for almost 20 years — on Slugs Of Love they bring their distinctive blend of soulful pop, electronics and R&B — all underpinned by lead singer Yukimi’s instantly recognisable vocals — to the fore across 11 tracks that encapsulate the full range of their diverse individual musical influences. The record features a guest turn from Damon Albarn (Gorillaz/Blur) on 'Glow', a 'slow dripping glittery ride to a daydream in wonderland' and a collaboration with respected East Atlanta rapper JID (who is signed with J. Cole’s Dreamville label) on the previously released single 'Stay', a song which charts the ups and downs of a relationship. The album also contains the titular single 'Slugs Of Love' — a joyous, upbeat track which the band say they imagine 'being played by a bunch of youngsters with rubberboots in different sparkling colors' — which arrived alongside an official video also directed by Unlimited Time Only and featured the band themselves. Elsewhere is the uplifting 'Tumbling Dice' — a track that urges the listener to savor the time they have: a 'cheers for this moment, for this life' and a reminder to 'celebrate every breath, we will be gone in a flash.' — and 'Gold', 'a reflection on the riches that money can't buy,' the band refract pop hits of the 90’s and 00’s with the Whitney Houston channeling refrain of the chorus laying over a sluggish, synth heavy groove." - Ninja Tune
