The Work

Description

New album from the cult electronic producer (Includes The Corner)! In 12 years, 3 albums and multiple collaborative projects, Gold Panda has established himself as a key figure on the English electronic scene. Derwin Dicker is a rare artist, and therefore each of his releases is eagerly awaited by his many fans. From the first notes, his signature style is immediately recognizable: his mastery of sampling, his oriental influences, his abstract Hip Hop beats, his pitched vocals, his melancholy that could make machines cry, his formidable effectiveness. This approach, straddling dancefloor and introspection, might remind one of a certain Kieran Hebden (Four Tet). *The Work* follows six years after the fabulous "Good Luck And Do Your Best" and, like "The Corner," the album's flagship single and a great track in its own right, it is a tremendous success. Gold Panda is at his best, playing with audacity, inventiveness, and surprises.
