TN:20 Little Dragon

In this episode John is joined by Erik and Yukimi from Little Dragon to talk about how they recorded and produced the album Ritual Union. Chatting from the studio in Gothenburg where the album was recorded, the pair reflect on the techniques and approaches they used in the recording of their 3rd studio release. We hear how Little Man was transformed by The Smurfs playing drums, how the accidental recording of electricity cables from the Gothenburg tramline bolstered Crystalfilm and what the first thing to do is when you buy an old 80's synth and how they all left their mark on this electronic classic. Tracks discussed: Ritual Union, Little man, Crystalfilm If you'd like to help support the show you can donate as little or as much as you'd like here, (we really appreciate your contributions): Donate You can learn more about our partners Focusrite here. Follow us on Social Media to keep up to date with the latest episodes and submit questions: InstagramFacebookTwitter Visit our website to join our mailing list: www.tapenotes.co.uk
