Coachella band of the week:
Little Dragon

Only 78 days until Coachella, or, 78 days to get schooled on all of the bands I've been heretofore unfamiliar with.

So this week I discovered Little Dragon, a Swedish electro-pop foursome playing the festival Friday, April 16.

Now I usually abstain from synth pop and female-fronted bands  (not a hard rule, I just tend to enjoy male singers more), but these guys have enough darkness and soul to their sound to avoid coming out robotic.

Will definitely be checking out this band at Coachella, and apparently I have two albums to catch up on -- 2007's self-titled LP and 2009's "Machine Dreams."
