Little Dragon. Four of them, out of Gothenburg, Sweden: singer Yukimi Nagano, drummer Erik Bodin, bassist Fredrik Wallin and keyboard player Håkan Wirenstrand. Electronic and soulful, with Yukimi's voice sitting right on top of the beat. Gorillaz brought them in for the 2010 album Plastic Beach, and that's them on 'Empire Ants' and 'To Binge.' Then their fourth album, Nabuma Rubberband, earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album.
