Gold Panda delivers new cut "The Dream"

11 October 2022, 14:41 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Gold Panda has unveiled a third cut from his upcoming album The Work titled "The Dream".

Following the release of previous singles "The Corner" and "I've Felt Better (Than I Do Now)", Gold Panda has shared a third outing titled "The Dream", which lands with a Rob Brandon-directed video.

Gold Panda says, ""The Dream" was actually multiple songs to begin with, the harpy bits were separate but I dropped those samples into this song and it just went together really nicely, the drums were made in max/msp and then sampled into an MPC. Organic sounding vinyl samples and digital drums and textures are my favourite combination."

He adds, "I never knew how this song would end up, a bit like a dream, a new element is introduced, seemingly out of place until the other parts come back in again.... then suddenly it was finished! Now I can hear it finally as a whole piece, it existed as multiple songs for so long and it makes no sense and total sense."

The Work was created over the space of six years, following 2016's Good Luck and Do Your Best. Since then he's teamed up with Simian Mobile Disco's Jas Shaw for a collaborative album titled Selling in 2018, and also released Jag Trax as DJ Jenifa in 2019.

"The Dream" is out now. Gold Panda's The Work album will be released on 11 November via City Slang, and is available to pre-order now. He'll play London's Printworks on 5 November. Visit goldpanda.bandcamp.com for tickets.
