Nov 15, 2022Gold Panda has broken up a significant hiatus of six years to deliver an album that doesn’t shout its presence through a megaphone but instead allows itself to sort-of permeate. It’s a profound statement but done with restraint.

Nov 10, 2022It’s a shame that his first album in over half a decade doesn’t push his musical ideas a little further, and in some moments, The Work feels almost like an addendum to 2016’s Good Luck and Do Your Best, but the results are still undeniably affecting.
