GOLD PANDA
Half Of Where You Live
NOTOWN
beautiful melodic cycles weave around understated grooves in a swirling, laid back melange of dance rhythms & tuneful bliss.
from the opener 'junk city ii' it's clear that gold panda's globetrotting schedule has influenced his productions since debut 'lucky shiner'. a techno feel permeates the album in a very gentle way. while tracks like 'junk city ii', 'brazil', 'community' & the skittish, garage-y 'the most liveable city' would cause serious motion on a dancefloor, on more atmospheric tracks like the oriental sounding textures of ‘my father in hong kong 1961’ & warm, pulsating melodies of 's950' he shows his skill at creating heart-tugging & interesting melodic soundscapes, while the acoustic melodies & floating strings of 'we work nights' develops the recent electronic strains of bonobo or four tet.
