Here it is, the case made in just under five minutes for why you should be anticipating Gold Panda’s debut full-length Lucky Shiner, due 10/12 via Ghostly. “Snow & Taxis” is the first listen, the album website is here. Herein Gold Panda’s playing with small-scale samples in a way Axel Wilner stitches and bucks up his microcuts, and unlike the Gold Panda breakout “Quitters Raga,” this is delivered without vocals, or if what we’re hearing at three minutes is a human voice, then without words. It’s ringing bells, loops sliced so thin they practically trance, and clubfloor beats in a Four Tet in The Field combination. Good track, hear/grab it:
