I first cam across this album when I was 16 years old. This is one of those albums that sticks with you long after you first come across it. I would attribute that to the fact that this is creative genius at its finest. I was sold as soon as I heard "twice" which was the first track on the album. It was like my whole life just stopped and everything went in slow motion. And this was only the first track. As I listened, everything about this album just spoke to me in ways that the music I often heard in the halls of my high school did not.
As the album goes on, it only seems to get stranger and more creative as it goes on. But it does this in a good way. It's so weird that it almost becomes normal as you are listening. I remember thinking to myself that more music should be like this. This album was really one of my first musical expeditions into the world of underground and experiment al music genres. Tracks like turn left sound like something out of an awesome demon possessed mall while tracks like wink could easily sneak it's way onto the dance floor during a strange kind of party. I think my favorite track on the album after countless listens has to be either twice or constant surprises. A lot of the music on this album is both introspective and playful which made it seem random to some of my friends when I played it for them. Yukimi Nagano (the lead singer of little dragon) has an incredible vocal range and she carries roots of soulful R & B as well as influences from what many would consider Asian musical styles and traditions. She manages to fit stunning vocal runs into melodies that almost seem almost unreal when you hear them. She really uses her voice as a musical instrument. The rest of the band is equally talented and they bring a lot of influences to the table as well. This album has jazz and neo soul undertones that are reminiscent of something that you would hear on an Amy Whine house album. And they manage to be please try strange while not losing sight of the influences that they are carrying.
All in all, this album is impressive musically and sonically. This album pushes the boundaries of genre Blending without the listener realizing it is happening. After several listens, you start to just scratch the surface of how complex the production and songwriting work really is on this album. Anyone who is a true fan of music and enjoys understanding musical evolution should listen to and own this album. I believe this album will stand the test of time because it isn't defined by one single idea or premise. It actually is hard to define at all and that is what makes it such a great album.
