Little Dragon has released their new single “Lover Chanting,” set to be featured on their upcoming EP of the same name. The new EP will be released November 9th and will consist of three tracks. The new song finds the band in a new territory with their music, consisting of R&B and electronic music. Singer Yukimi Naganoadds spoke about the song in a press release the EP is about, “The force of love. Not only between two people but the force of love in this universe as the ultimate ecstasy. Whether that is while you’re dancing at a disco forgetting where you are or just staring at the moon on a clear night, it can be anything. A swim in the ocean, a glance at a stranger–it’s a personal individual thing. Call it what you want but we have all felt it. So, embrace the great mystery of everything that your brain can’t grasp and lose track in the most beautiful sense.”
In a Press Release, Lover Chanting is being described as a forward-facing, pioneering spirit that has cemented Little Dragon’s status as one of the most universally adored outfits working today.
