Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - p.76
4 stars out of 5 -- "'Precious' begins as dubstep pop, then morphs into an off-kilter house jam."Rolling Stone - p.72
Ranked #41 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "[T]he Gothenberg quintet spiked their synth-happy pop with freaky soul..."Spin - p.73
"Little Dragon's third full-length deepens the group's down-tempo mix of icy techno and smoldering R&B."Uncut - p.93
4 stars out of 5 -- "RITUAL UNION continues the work of 2009's MACHINE DREAMS, weaving a lush tapestry of warmly surreal art-pop around Nagano's cries and whispers."Uncut - p.32
Ranked #37 in Uncut's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "RITUAL UNION showcased their elegant brand of electropop, pleasingly understated and immune to fashionable whim."CMJ
"On RITUAL UNION, electronica and soul are merged and juxtaposed in every conceivable way."Q (Magazine) - p.117
4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's all beautifully poised....Their instinctive subtlety works to their advantage on the title track..."Mojo (Publisher) - p.93
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he lyrics are more revealing than before, with Nagano giving out a general plea for contact and connection."Paste (magazine) - "[T]he title track doesn't waste any time letting you know how good this band can be....'Crystalfilm' sends cavernous vocals careening off crystalline walls..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "They are essentially an R&B band, but the major elements of their style are skewed enough that while the music seems vaguely familiar, it doesn't sound quite like anyone else."
Clash (Magazine) - "It's dark and downbeat, smoky and soulful....RITUAL UNION is the rich vindication of Little Dragon's slow burning upturn."
