Gold Panda's Mountain b/w Financial District 7" can be purchase via Ghostly (US) for $7.00 plus shipping, or if your in the UK you can purchase it through Notown. This will be release on standard weight clear vinyl and will be limited to 1200 copies worldwide.
Gold Panda describes the 7" as a "short story," hinting at something in the future that, even he confesses, could twist in a completely different direction to the two tracks here – of which Derwin describes as “modern hip-hop.” He adds, “the 808 snares on ‘Mountain’ are a nod to Noah "40" Shebib and some-time Drake collaborators, Boi-1da. "Financial District," at 125 bpm is, I guess, an accelerated version of that.”
"Mountain," the slightly warmer of the two, with it's huge reverberating percussive sound cocooning a myriad of skittering, pirouetting samples. "Financial District" meanwhile revolves around off-kilter drones that play off one another before being hoisted up by the return of that resolute rhythm. The track titles, Derwin explains, indirectly came about after a discussion with Brainfeeder artist Matthewdavid, who told him he needed better names for the tracks.
