Little Dragon, a world-renowned artist who has collaborated with a host of prominent artists including Gorillaz, Subtract, Flying Lotus, Flume, Kaytranada, De La Soul, DJ Shadow, and Mac Miller, and has been nominated for a Grammy Award, releases their sixth album in three years, 'New Me, SameUs'!! Having worked together since their student days in Gothenburg, where they would gather after school to jam and listen to records by A Tribe Called Quest and Alice Coltrane, this album marks a return to the band's fundamentals, deepening their love for their instruments?drums, bass, keyboards, harp, guitar, and vocals?and symbolizing Little Dragon's continued evolution to a new stage. This ambitious work finds a new direction in their unique style of solid yet unconventional R&B, pop, and electronic music, while maintaining their unchangingly youthful and energetic sound. At the same time, the album also has an introspective atmosphere, with Yukimi's distinctive vocals reflecting on the changing world, feelings of longing, and saying goodbye. The artwork for this album was created by Johannes Nyholm, a Swedish film director, producer, screenwriter, and animator who has received numerous awards. The Japanese CD edition includes the bonus track "Let Me Know," and comes with liner notes and a translation of the lyrics.
