Critiques CD: Gold Panda | You EP

Having taken the spotlight from the wolf, the bear has now become the coolest animal to inspire band or artist names: Polar Bear, Grizzly Bear, and now Gold Panda. Starting to see a new trend here… Irrelevant remarks aside, this EP – essentially the single “You” remixed by the likes of a bunch of different tweekers (Osborne, Seams, Minotaur Shock, and Dam Mantle) – is the latest step up in the musical moves made by the man behind the panda. The vocal chops in the original single are the highlights of this EP. June 18th at Sala Rossa.
