Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

8. Little DragonMachine Dreams

Iโ€™ve always been fascinated by Swedish experimentation, or Scandinavian experimentation and soul music. I donโ€™t know if itโ€™s in the water or the meatballs they have over there but it always seems to be very interesting.

I think I must have heard โ€˜Blinking Pigsโ€™ first and I was completely blown away. Then I looked into it more and listened to the record more. I love Yukimi Naganoโ€™s voice and I love that it sounds like theyโ€™re having fun with this record. Itโ€™s part soul, part downtempo, part electronic. I love the mixture of genres. I love that the music goes in one direction and then her voice takes it to the next level.
