We’ve been keeping our ears homed in on UK producer Gold Panda since before he dropped the lovely Lucky Shiner LP via Ghostly last year, so we’re pleased to see he’s compiled some early material and rereleased it through the same label today. The 13-track collection is called Companion, and brings together Gold Panda’s self-released material from 2009—the Before, Miyamae, and Quitter’s Raga EPs—and a “non-EP track” called “Police.” Along with the artwork and tracklist for Companion, you can check out a short tour/profile film about the producer, appropriately called Ghostly Presents: Gold Panda, and some forthcoming tour dates, below.
