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.
No Love
Little Dragon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the sweetness is left somewhere
On some street miles from where we seem to be
No love, no love
No compassion really here
Even the reason why we met
Has vanished in the air
Just cant understand how it disappeared no
No love in this room
No love left in here
No love in my soul left for you
No love left in here
No love in this room
No love in my soul left for you
So I sit and wait till it appears
Hopefully someday soon
Hopefully before next year
I just sit and I glare
It's a mystery how it vanished
How it left me here
Oh my heart so bare
Nothing left to share
Oh where did it go
Withered away
Give me love that will stay
No love in this room
No love left in here
No love in my soul left for you
No love left in here
No love in this room
No love in my soul left for you
No love left in here
No love in this room
No love in my soul left for you
No love in this room
No love left in here
No love in my soul left for you
The lyrics to Little Dragon’s song “No Love” convey a sense of emotional detachment and emptiness. The singer is disillusioned with their relationship and feels that there is no longer any love or compassion remaining between them and their partner. The repeated phrase “No love in this room” emphasizes the coldness and lack of emotion present in the space. The singer reflects on the absence of the sweetness and connection that once existed between them, which has now vanished into thin air. Despite their partner’s attempts to communicate, the singer cannot understand how the love between them disappeared.
The lyrics suggest a deep sadness and longing for something that has been lost. The singer expresses a sense of hopelessness, sitting and waiting for the love to reappear “hopefully someday soon, hopefully before next year.” The phrase “Oh my heart so bare, nothing left to share” communicates a sense of vulnerability and loneliness. The final plea for “love that will stay” reflects a desire for stability and security in the relationship, rather than the fleeting and ephemeral nature of their current situation.
Overall, the song captures a sense of emotional disconnect and the difficulty of maintaining love and connection in a relationship over time. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing for a deeper and more meaningful connection, while also acknowledging the emptiness and lack of love currently present in the space.

Verso 1]
Realmente no hay simpatía aquí
Toda la dulzura queda en alguna parte
En alguna calle, a millas de donde parecemos estar
No hay amor, no hay amor
[Verso 2]
Realmente no hay compasión aquí
Incluso la razón por la que nos conocimos se ha desvanecido en el aire
Tú Sigo hablando mientras me siento y miro.
Simplemente no puedo entender cómo desapareció, no.

I love this track!! such a heavy Lauryn Hill/Mary J Blidge vibe to this! Yukimi has so much Soul, easily 1 of the best vocalists of our time, her voice is so powerful, and she instantly mesmerizes u with her beautiful harmonies and intricate lyrics

There's a quiet yet simultaneously relaxing Loud vibration in this Great song.
@traciayanam1978
I hope they include some songs like this on Nabuma Rubberband. I love the new stuff, but I also love this jazzy style from the first album.
@marshymarcelo
They seem to change the mood and overall style in every album, that's one of the things I love from this band.
