Swedish electronic band Little Dragon has been busy making new music and are expected to release a new album next spring. Their new sound was heavily influenced by a trip to South Africa and the band’s immersion in that country’s popular house music, called kwaito. In the above video, lead singer Yukimi Nagano performs some of the band’s new music at this year’s Treasure Island Music Festival in San Francisco.
