I'm Feeling Much Stranger 'Bout You

Little Dragon were on the longlist for the Paris-themed selection posted on Monday, but didn't make the final playlist. Another of their tracks surfaced on a random shuffle on the commute to work. I can take the hint, so here's a selection for your listening pleasure. 

Little Dragon hail from Gothenburg in Sweden and were high-school friends who got together as a band and released their first single in 2006. Little Dragon is Yukimi Nagano on vocals & percussion, Fredrik Källgren Wallin on bass, Håkan Wirenstrand on keyboards and Erik Bodin on drums.

My collection is limited to 2007 to 2014, but Little Dragon are still very active, releasing their 6th album, New Me, Same Us, in March 2020. I've just bought their last single, Drifting Out, which snuck out last month and contains three excellent versions, including a remix by Dubhed favourite Kelsey Lu.

2) Brush The Heat (2011) 

3) No Love (2007)

4) Little Man (Album Version) (2011)
