Description
"an idiosyncratic strain of psychedelic dance based on dense layers of exotic samples and hip hop beats." The Independent"achingly beautiful." PitchforkA culmination of years of work spent refining his sui generis sound, Gold Pandas eagerly awaited debut album is finally here. An artist at ease traversing genre boundaries in search of new auditory frontiers - whether mixing dissected Hip Hop beats or the pulsating flourishes of minimal Techno - this apropos release will cement the foundations laid by previous output and visions whilst expanding his canon to unparalleled limits. As electronic music gradually arcs into a period of unprecedented successes, Lucky Shiner pits GP firmly at the forefront of a new wave of artists unafraid to challenge preconceptions of what music can be.Mixed by Simian Mobile Discos sonic veteran James Shaw and recorded in two session spent in the shady retreat of the English countryside - at his Aunt and Uncles Essex home - after, as GP explains they went away over Christmas for two weeks and asked me to look after their dog. Id walk Daisy in the morning and then make tunes till she pestered me to take her out again, Id bounce down what Id done, stick my headphones on and walk her; get ideas and repeat the process. The end result is an album as influenced by family as it is by the quickly flashing topography that stretches out of train windows. GPs mesmerising attention to sound and detail means each beat resonates as past, reflects the present and looks forwards to the potential futures of the individual; listener and artist alike.
