Soundtracks: Little Dragon, "Twice"

Because I love you so, I bring you a lovely little video from Swedish band Little Dragon. What is in the water in Sweden, I ask you: Little Dragon make lovely, elegant dance-based music, but not like cheesy bad club music -- like many things Swedish, there is an intellectual detachment to their sound that no way detracts from its impact. It's leavened by singer Yukimi Nagano's husky and soulful vocals -- she clearly must have listened to a lot of Nina Simone for inspiration at one point because her voice gets that sly, sexy little growl to it sometimes. Anyway, the video is directed by Johannes Nyholm, who also did "Heartbeats" by the Knife. Man, I have to get to Sweden...

(And here is "Heartbeats," because come on! It's wobbly, identically-dressed skateboarders!)
