Album Review: Little Dragon - Season High

StarStarStar

"In its best moments the band members sound like children in a music shop."

More Little Dragon Little Dragon

Swedish electronic outfit Little Dragon approach making music with a sense of playfulness, bouncing between genres without ever landing in one category.

Season High is the group's fifth album, and continues their trend of experimenting with sounds and styles. The record was co-produced with James Ford from Simian Mobile Disco, and in its best moments the band members sound like children in a music shop. The synth medley on The Pop Life, the wild guitar solo on Celebrate, and the wide-eyed lyrics of Strobe Light all attest to this sense of exploration and fun. This might be a scattered collection of songs, but it's not without its charms.
