As always, I am drawn as much to individual tracks as I am to their corresponding music videos. Constant Surprises by Little Dragon–a Swedish electrojazz phenomenon–exemplifies this habit perfectly. The band’s enigmatic energy is depicted in every shot of this bizarre but innovative music video by Fredrik Egerstrand, which features the natural beauty of Japanese-Swedish singer Yukimi Nagano and a captivating array of lights and silhouettes against a veil of smoke. The song itself is a sprawling, otherworldly mirage, allowing room for Nagano’s subdued vocals to complete its eccentric electronic hook. Tasteful and beautiful to watch, Constant Surprises is a must see and a must listen.
