Their first release was a double-A-side 7" single on Off The Wall (later signed to Peacefrog) that had two tracks: "Twice" and "Test".
Nagano was born and raised in Göteborg to a Japanese father and American mother. She grew up listening to American folk, but always had an affinity for R&B. Keyboardist Wirenstrand spent his childhood in Småland before moving to Göteborg where listened to a lot of Swedish folk music before getting into electronic music. Bodin grew up listening to early hip-hop and jazz. Fredrik was influenced by experimental, noise and electro house.
Nagano and Bodin play live with José González. Bodin also drums with Peps Perrson, a Swedish blues/reggae artist. Swedish electronic jazz duo Koop's albums Waltz for Koop and Koop Islands feature Yukimi Nagano's vocals on several tracks.
The band collaborated with Gorillaz on two tracks ("Empire Ants" and "To Binge") from their 2010 released album, Plastic Beach. Little Dragon also collaborated with Maximum Balloon (the solo project of David Andrew Sitek, producer and member of TV On the Radio), for one track entitled "If You Return". In 2011, the band's collaboration with SBTRKT on "Wildfire" was released as the lead single from his self-titled début LP.

Little Dragon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So sweetened, you're doomed for a well garnished life
Flourished and sprayed with perfume
So sweetened, you're doomed for a well garnished tomb now
Textiles with textures caressing your skin
Woman so primitive looking content
Pout your lips, you're such a bird
Don't wrinkle your forehead
Don't even think recommendation from a magazine
Pout your lips, you're such a bird
Don't utter a word
Flourished and sprayed with perfume
So sweetened, you're doomed for a well garnished life
Flourished and sprayed with perfume
So sweetened, you're doomed for a well garnished tomb now
Flourished and sprayed with perfume
So sweetened, you're doomed for a well garnished life
Flourished and sprayed with perfume
So sweetened, you're doomed for a well garnished tomb now

Puddle clip claps in healthy cells
And glittering skin such an atomic bomb
When she steps it in
What an ideal
To make you proud lick her face
And tell her wow pout her lips, she's such a bird
Don't utter a word
It's a recommendation

The lyrics to Little Dragon's "Recommendation" discuss an ideal standard of beauty and womanhood, particularly as it is presented in magazines and other media. The first few lines of the song describe this standard as a well-garnished life or tomb, suggesting that the focus on appearance and presentation leaves little room for true depth or substance. The mention of perfume and textiles with textures also highlights the emphasis on sensory pleasure and sensory experience, rather than genuine emotion or intellectual engagement.
The lyrics then take on a slightly sarcastic tone as the focus shifts to the woman being observed. She is described as primitive looking but content, suggesting that the ideal of beauty and femininity is not necessarily tied to modernity or sophistication. The refrain of "pout your lips, you're such a bird, / don't utter a word" reinforces this idea that women are to be seen and not heard, and that their primary role is to look pretty and alluring.
The lyrics end with a repetition of the phrase "it's a recommendation" from magazines, tying the ideal of beauty and femininity back to the media and the fashion and beauty industry that shapes and perpetuates it.
