013 - Gold Panda (Lucky Shiner)

Perhaps what makes this album worthy of note is its choice of sounds. Gold Panda incorporates what I can only reductively term Eastern sounds into Western electronic form. As such, the album feels fresh, even if structurally it remains fairly conventional.

N.B. There are two pairs of tracks on the album You/You Pt. II & Before/After We Talked, both of which work well when considered independently and collectively.

Gold Panda - Same Dream China

Gold Panda - Marriage
