Gothenburg bliss-poppers Little Dragon will follow 2007's excellent 　　self-titled debut with Machine Dreams, a new album for Peacefrog on 　　August 17. 　　 　　According to vocalist Yukimi Nagano, "these days, humans seem more and 　　more like machines, and as technology evolves, machines feel more human 　　and it becomes fuzzy and beautiful and science fiction-ish. We feel 　　dependent on our machines to create and live, and their sounds reflect 　　us". So we guess you can expect a movement towards a more electronic 　　sound. Their first album was one of 2007's most underrated 　　full-lengths; a slick Portishead-indebted pop number featuring one of 　　the year's highlights in 'Test'. They were also pretty ace when we 　　caught them at Sonar last summer. 　　 　　The first single from the album will be titled 'Feather', and will be 　　released either very late August or early September.
