Little Dragon have confirmed details of a new studio album. Slugs of Love will be released on July 7 via Ninja Tune. The electro-pop band's new song "Kenneth" is streaming now. Scroll down to listen.
In a press statement about the new song, Little Dragon explain, 'It's about friendship and love and the dirt of getting caught in bitterness and taking the wrong turn mentally.”
Slugs Of Love is Little Dragon's follow-up to 2022 EP Opening The Door. Their most recent full-length album, New Me, Same Us, was released in 2020. The new album features the title track plus JID collaboration "Stay" and "Glow," featuring Damon Alburn of Gorillaz and Blur.
The group, fronted by Yukimi Nagano made Slugs Of Love in their native Gothenburg, Sweden with a focus on "exploring different ways to collaborate and communicate. Dissolving patterns and making new ones. Nurturing our ability to curiously press down keys, to bang — sometimes hard sometimes gently — on different things, strumming strings, recording sounds and investigating the limits for how much or little a sound can be tweaked."
