Gold Panda: Lucky Shiner (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

“Where were you for ‘You’? Gold Pandas hypnotic track entered the celestial tape deck just as music blog culture neared its halcyon heights in the spring of 2010, stuttering across an excited global community of writers and fans. On the occasion of Ghostly’s 25th Anniversary, here is a special Fireworks Vinyl repressing of Lucky Shiner featuring a download card with bonus tracks and detachable paper Obi exclusive to this pressing.” – Ghostly International

Original Lab review:

Experimental beats and electronica from Gold Panda on this full-length debut for Ghostly. The styles are relatively diverse, with some tracks falling into the dream, atmospheric column (“Same Dream China,” “Marriage,” “Parents”), while others have obvious house influences (“Snow & Taxis,” “Vanilla Minus”), and others still feature wonky downtempo sounds (“Before We Talked,” “After We Talked,” both versions of “You”). Great headphone listening, beat heads and electronica nerds alike will find things to love about this one.
