**********




Iconic Swedish four-piece Little Dragon invite you to engage in some tongue
kissing with life” on their new single ‘Tongue Kissing’,
released on Ninja Tune. 

Picking up where ‘Lover Chanting’ (“a song for all the lovers
out there”) left off, ‘Tongue Kissing’ is four minutes of
glittering, off-kilter pop, which sees front-woman Yukimi Nagano muse on
embracing lifes challenges head-on. “The song is very much about taking
brave steps,” explains the band. “Facing your own demons and tongue
kissing with life, not holding back but going all in with all that it entails,
every moment in your face” 

One year on from their “Lover Chanting” EP, ‘Tongue
Kissing’ once more finds Little Dragon at their pioneering best. A
singular band who are never content to rest on their laurels, it follows a
career of forward-thinking albums—including breakout “Ritual
Union” and the GRAMMY-nominated “Nabuma Rubberband”—as
well as an impressive, diverse list of collaborations with equally
groundbreaking artists like BADBADNOTGOOD, Gorillaz, SBTRKT, Flume, Kaytranada,
De La Soul, DJ Shadow, Tinashe, Mac Miller, Big Boi, Faith Evans, and more.

Artwork for the release comes from Mačka (Lena Mačka) and continues the
band’s long history of working with some of the most exciting creatives
across the worlds of art and design, including with IB Kamara (i-D, Dazed,
Vogue) and David Uzochukwu (Dior, FKA Twigs, Nike) on previous album
“Season High”, and Vicki King on their latest EP.

Critical support for the band has come from the likes of Pitchfork, The
Guardian, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Washington Post, Resident Advisor,
Crack, FADER, i-D, DAZED, Mixmag, Stereogum, FACT, NPR, and many more. With
