Artist News Gigs & Festivals Releases

Little Dragon have announced that they will release their latest album, ‘New Me, Same Us’, through Ninja Tune in March. They’ll also play a one-off show at Brixton Academy later the same month.
“This album has been the most collaborative for us yet, which might sound weird considering we’ve been making music together for all these years, but we worked hard at being honest, finding the courage to let go of our egos and be pieces of something bigger”, say the band. “We are all on our own personal journeys, full of change, yet still we stand united with stories we believe in, that make us who we are”.
