Little Dragon shared a new song, “High,” on Valentine’s Day. Then yesterday frontwoman Yukimi Nagano was interviewed on BBC Radio 1 and during the interview they played another brand new song, “Sweet,” and Nagano also revealed that the new album was entitled Season High. Now the album has been officially announced and the band has shared a video for “Sweet.” Season High is due out April 14 via Loma Vista. Check out the “Sweet” video below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art and the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Season High is the follow-up to 2014’s Nabuma Rubberband and it was co-produced and mixed by Little Dragon and James Ford in the band’s hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden.

Nagano had this to say about the album in a press release: “We have grown through the years but the making of this album has been a struggle. As much as our band is based on a deep friendship we are four strong wills who find it really frustrating to compromise. We have gotten better at that though, but it’s still a real battle. It gets harder and harder for us to make records but we still love it. Sometimes it feels like we have 100% passion and life or death emotions yet there’s a pointlessness with everything. We want to exist in our own bubble where we can stay curious about sounds. The magic feeling that sounds can sprinkle over any boring day is what got us all hooked. That feeling of escapism ...maybe because Gothenburg is a grey place for most of the year, our curse and blessing is that we never quite succeed.”
