"Little Dragon seemed to fall into a rut with the rigid and unaffecting Season High, and started to pull out of it with Lover Chanting EP, a livelier set with post-disco R&B and pacific dub-pop leanings. They brush the remaining dirt off their shoulders with New Me, Same Us, their first album for Ninja Tune and sixth overall. The preceding release proved to be no mere digression. This is permeated with smart applications of soul, funk, and a little boogie, and as a consequence features some of Little Dragon's most inviting and stirring material".
