Little Dragon – “Klapp Klapp”

Electronic resurrection in Little Dragon’s latest video

Sweden’s Little Dragon just orchestrated an electronic resurrection with their latest single, “Klapp Klapp.” The song’s punkish beats and heavy synth backbone signals a return to a more aggressive electronic approach. Yukimi Nagano’s voice carries over the powerful instrumentals and compliments the intertwined electronic melodies the four-piece is famous for. It’s an explosive start to their upcoming album Nabuma Rubberband.

The accompanying music video depicts a woman performing an out-of-body, cult-like ritual that touches on themes of higher inspiration and spiritual connection. The final scene of the video is especially harrowing: the woman gets pulled out of an exposed grave while a lone hand reaches up over the edge. It’s like a rebirth and raises questions that will just have to wait until release day.

Nabuma Rubberband set to drop May 13. It will be the band’s fourth full-length.
