Swedish four-piece Little Dragon take their jazz ‘n’ Portishead-indebted brand of bliss-pop to the London Royal Opera House this Friday as part of Flomotion’s Voices Across the World festival.

With a new, promising-sounding album scheduled for August, Machine Dreams, it’s not the only good news the Little Dragon camp have had lately. The band supported TV on the Radio on their May US tour, and will support Sitek, Malone and co again for their European dates this month. More information on their myspace.
