We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: is there anything Sweden can’t do? Is it illegal to be in a lame band over there? Seriously, everyone who picks up an (government-provided we are sure—what up, socialism!) instrument creates the most amazing music. Today, we have a song by Little Dragon, “Fortune”, which is a dreamy, laid-back slice of electro pop that wouldn’t feel awkward on a particularly Goldfrapp-y Massive Attack record. For some reason the instrumental breakdown towards the end kind of reminds of an ’80s soap opera theme song, only distorted and fed through a Roland 808. If that makes any sense.

Little Dragon hail from Gothenburg, which we daresay must be the very cradle of Swedish indie rock coolness, as it’s home to the likes of José González, El Perro del Mar, Soundtrack of Our Lives, Love is All, and loads of other awesome bands. We’ve already booked our plane ticket.
