Not one to wait around, Gold Panda has released a new EP after dropping his fourth album ‘Good Luck and Do Your Best’ back in May.
Consisting of five shiny, brand new tracks ‘Kingdom’ found its inspiration from the not-so-nice political environment we currently find our fair shores in.
Elaborating on this Derwin explains “It was made after talking to a neighbour who moved his family from Afghanistan to the UK. He ordered a phone off Amazon so he could call home, but the delivery driver signed for it and kept it. I thought this was a pretty shitty welcome. I made a couple of less happy songs that are very very loosely based around that and my Brexit fears, which were sadly confirmed”
Out now, only on Bandcamp, you can stream it in all of its post-Brexit glory. You can also catch Gold Panda on tour, where there will also be a CD version available for you physical hoarders.
