Little Dragon’s first release was “Twice”/”Test”, released on the Off the Wall label in 2006. The following year, the band signed with the larger British independent label Peacefrog Records and released their eponymous debut album in August 2007.

The third album, Ritual Union, was released in July 2011 and was ranked at number 41 on Rolling Stone list of the 50 Best Albums of 2011.

The band’s fifth studio album, Season High, was released on 14 April 2017. The band got their name after Nagano’s nickname she received for throwing tantrums while recording. Influences include Gorillaz, Janet Jackson, and Prince; however the band says that the dark and cold Swedish winter played a part in shaping their sound.
