...according to our Phil on 30 October 2008.

The Lucky Dragons have a new album out. We actually had an import of this a few weeks ago (which we still have a handful of in stock) but we didn't get chance to review it. So here's a UK version of 'Dream Island Laughing Language' on the smart Upset The Rhythm label. Those with memories better than those of fish will remember we did give Lucky Dragons single of the week about 2 years ago (ish). They're a tapped band.... Impossible music to describe... Weird percussive nonsense that is emminenetly appealing. At times it sounds like a load of folks around a campfire with some stuff that they're clattering together seemingly randomly. Though random it ain't... there's some complex rhythms and electronic textures going on in there. Stick with this though as there's ample richness to be had throughout. Maybe fans of the Sublime Frequencies stuff will like this. That's what I think anyway!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

*  Now also on limited vinyl with illustrated book.
*  Dream Island Laughing Language is the eighteenth release by the L.A. based Lucky Dragons.
*  The album details the continuing pursuit of a humble and joyous, drippy and explosive, smoldering and upset music for our experience in America right now - messages of unrest have long failed to be clearly understood, solitude and empty organization have given way to a very current volcanic desire for togetherness. Genre has never been less important - influences and ideas are consumed and digested and released in the spirit of a culture larger than music as it is bought and sold. You could call it post-noise, or post-anything you like, but we would prefer to call it
pre-something.
