LITTLE DRAGON - New Me, Same Us | Interview

Little Dragon is back with their brand new Album “New Me, Same Us”. The Swedish band represents another chapter in the continuous Little Dragon development and delights fans with their unique sound and melodies, somewhere between unconventional r&b, electronic and energetic indie pop. We met Yukimi and Erik at the Ninja Tune office in Berlin for a little chat.

About New Me, Same Us
Completely alone and without any support from outside they produced and recorded “New Me, Same Us” in their long-term and self-built home studio in Gothenburg. The album also shows a reflective mood, with Yukimis unmistakable Voice that reflects on transitions in life, longings and farewells. The lead single, “Hold On” is a message about breaking away and moving on, “Rush” is about the longing for a lost love, “Another Lover” becomes described as a heartbreaking daydream: “I can’t understand what I’m doing / don’t understand where we going”, Yukimi complains in the first lines.
“Sadness” is about how you think about someone but time reveals a different face. “Where You Belong” is a lullaby of fear of loss and Death. But there is also room for optimism! “New Fiction” is looking for this place in which you can create new narratives and find your own way, and “Are You Feeling Sad” is a reminder to step back and don’t worry too much: “you’re gonna be alright / don’t worry don’t worry / things gonna turn out fine ”.

Btw: “New Me, Same Us” is Little Dragons sixth album and their debut album on Ninja Tune!
