Lucky Dragons-Dream Island Laughing Language.


Lucky Dragons, an experimental music/art group based in Los Angeles, is the moniker given to “any recorded or performed or installed or packaged or shared pieces made by Luke Fischbeck, Sarah Rara, and any sometimes collaborator.” Blending an organic approach to electronic music with a background in the arts, they make very textural electronic experimental music, (this release particularly) mostly centered around looping. the name "lucky dragons" is borrowed from a japanese fishing boat caught in the fallout of hydrogen bomb test at bikini atoll in the 1950's. the crew stricken ill, and the boat itself contaminated, the "lucky dragon" became a crystalizing symbol for the previously diffuse worldwide anti-nuclear sentiment. In this release the sounds vary from thumb piano to gongs to drums and bells, and manages to stay interesting. They have been said to be creating a completely new strand of West Coast American psychedelia.
