Lucky Dragons music has always made me think of sun light refracted through a prism, and then broken down into a network of startling pixels. This probably has something to do with their seamless fusion of digital aesthetics and organic sound textures. Their positive, forward thinking sounds bring to mind a future where nature and technology work together in harmony. “Existers” is the opening, and title track from their forthcoming album. It builds on their established aesthetic with lush synth flourishes, and tight, simple hand percussion. Those who have been following their work will be surprised when Sarah Rara’s sultry vocal enters the mix. While this is more of a pop element than what we’ve come to expect from Lucky Dragons, it builds off nicely from their established sound, and hints at a future of fruitful experimentation.
