Little Dragon have announced their seventh studio album.
The follow-up to 2020's 'New Me, Same Us' is called 'Slugs Of Love' and will arrive on July 7 through Ninja Tune. It was recorded in their own Gothenburg Studio, where they have worked for almost two decades, and boasts appearances from Damon Albarn and J.I.D. Describing the recording process, the band said:
"We’ve been 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… Together we have developed, replayed, danced to, cried and laughed to this music as it has evolved forwards, backwards, sideways and all around, but now finally as a complete masterpiece… This feels like our finest work yet. We are very proud."
Having previously shared the record's titular track, the Swedish band have dropped a second single, Kenneth, an electro-pop tribute to a childhood friend: "It's about friendship and love, and the dirt of getting caught in bitterness and taking the wrong turn mentally."
