Gold Panda is releasing a 4-track 12″ EP of new material called Trust today. Taking in the more ambient and downbeat side of his sound, akin to Dam Mantle’s recent and most excellent album Brothers Fowl. Its warm tones, percussive stamp and gently meandering spacious arrangements are perfect listening for cold winter walks. It’s out now digitally on NOTOWN (also home to Dam Mantle) and on vinyl in March. A second LP is coming in 2013 too.
