Gold Panda Half Of Where You Live
Onimusha Warlords Pc English. 9 / 10 's 2010 LP,, was as triumphant a full-length debut as any producer has had in the past three years. Since then, his output has been steady, if somewhat understated—a handful of singles and EPs have surfaced, each seeming to find the producer tinkering with scattered ideas and in search of a concrete direction to take his craft.

Many of the LP's other efforts strike a similar balance—'An English House' employs a particularly Lone-indebted glow with its drum-machine-led house, 'We Work the Nights' densely piles heavenly strings and ringing guitar strums on top of one another, and 'Flinton' works a simple piano progression into a warbly, jazz-touched exercise.
