Lover Chanting EP

Little Dragon take a different approach to their musical projects almost a decade after creating their self titled debut studio album.

Lover Chanting EP is the group’s first Extended Play after five albums. The 4-track project was teased earlier in October 2018 with the lead single “Lover Chanting”

Well, we’ve been putting out albums for such a long time. After our fifth album, we just started going in and writing without too much expectation on what we were going to produce. We’ve just had a new start with Ninja Tune so we’re kind of testing things.

Sometimes with albums there’s this whole package that comes with the thing – which is great, I do kinda love that – but it was fun to release something in another format. Something a bit uptempo and feel-good. I like the spontaneity and the directness of it, everything is more immediate. It takes a lot longer mixing a whole album of songs. Everything is transformed with making an EP.
