“Following the release of their fourth album, Nabuma Rubberband, Little Dragon take to the 6 Mix decks for two hours. The Swedish quartet pick a whole host of musical inspirations, new and old, from Paul Simon to Pedestrian via Leon Vynehall and Roman Fluegel.
Forming in Gothenburg in 1996, it was 11 years until their self-titled debut album appeared. Since then, the band’s members have released three more albums and worked on side projects with a whole host of artists – from Yukimi providing the vocals on SBTRKT’s Wildfire, DJ Shadow’s Scale It Back and Raphael Saadiq’s Just Don’t, to collaborations with José González and TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek.
Little Dragon were in session for Lauren Laverne back in March and have been supported right across 6 Music’s schedule from Gilles Peterson to Steve Lamacq – in this programme, the band get the change to hand-pick 120 minutes of their favourite music and tracks which have inspired the new album. ”
