Hot Panda – “Future Markets” [SoundCloud Song Stream]
While 2010’s live-off-the-floor album How Come I’m Dead? partially reflected the Olympic chaos within which it was recorded, the third album from Vancouver via Edmonton’s Hot Panda, Go Outside, reveals a band investing its energy into a stable mode of creation. The overall sound of the album features a more mature and thoughtful tone, while lyrically tackling crippling social disorders like cynicism, depression, and close-mindedness. Go Outside manages to retain the energy, humor, and sub-genre diversity of earlier Hot Panda albums and their renowned live performances, while staying true to their “artful pop music, played with a punk rock spirit.” Hot Panda’s latest offering will be released on July 17th, 2012.
The Skinny: While 2010’s live-off-the-floor album How Come I’m Dead? partially reflected the Olympic chaos within which it was recorded, the third album from Vancouver via Edmonton’s Hot Panda, Go Outside, reveals a band investing its energy into a stable mode of creation. The overall sound of the album features a more mature and thoughtful tone, while lyrically tackling crippling social disorders like cynicism, depression, and close-mindedness. Go Outside manages to retain the energy, humor, and sub-genre diversity of earlier Hot Panda albums and their renowned live performances, while staying true to their “artful pop music, played with a punk rock spirit.” Hot Panda’s latest offering will be released on July 17th, 2012.
Continuing their legacy of eclectic lo-fi indie pop albums for Mint Records, Go Outside presents a snapshot of a band reaching a new plateau, solidifying Hot Panda as a one of the brightest stars on the Mint roster. Once again recorded by the famed JC/DC team of David Carswell and John Collins (The New Pornographers, Tegan and Sara), the album is just as vibrant as their first two albums, yet significantly more developed.
