Foraging In A Mesh Of Influenced Brilliance: Gold Panda, Lucky Shiner.

We've interviewed, lauded and lolled over Derwin aka Gold Panda's Twitter for what feels like years now, before finally coming into contact with his Oriental ambience infusion, Lucky Shiner. Although as quite convincingly proposed by the lovely James at Brilliantly Different, how valid is an online review of an LP that can quite legitimately be exposed, experienced and ultimately adjudged entirely subjectively, through the very same medium ("Does a streaming embed lp player sorta cause lp reviews online to be, redundant? Serious q.")? Once the burning embers of this summer's festival season have finally fizzled out entirely expect a Dots & Dashes rundown for a sense of cohesive completion beyond all else, but for now enjoy the subtle wonder of a debut that ought to tap into, rather than fly under the radar. Stream to your heart's content, then pre-order the record here. Same Dream China is more authentic than the stickiest of prawn bread starters this side of Soho...
