Featuring radiant vocalist Yukimi Nagano and her close high school friends Erik Bodin (drums), Fredrick Källgren (bass) and Hakan Wirenstrand (keyboards), Little Dragon’s debut single on Peacefrog was a Rough Trade ‘Single of the Week’ and “universally hailed as a masterpiece of free thinking soul”, according to One Week To Live. Yukimi has sung with Sweden’s Electronica-Jazz outfit Koop, and both Yukimi and Erik play live with José González. Erik also drums with Peps Perrson, a legendary Swedish Blues/Reggae artist. “We had an admiration for each other musically, and way before we defined ourselves as a band we were making music and hanging out,” Yukimi explains. “It’s like a family, and the band is our big passion. Little Dragon reminds you that when you're really creating music, it's like building a ship that will travel in a direction previously inconceivable”. Recorded exclusively for RBMA Radio, this set was performed for the Broad Casting night at Cargo in London on February 7th 2008.
