Gold Panda has returned with his first new music since 2019, new single ‘I’ve Felt Better (Than I Do Now).
"I made this when my daughter was two years old and I felt knackered and I'd turned 41", he says. "The samples just came together and sounded like ‘I've felt better...’, and at the same time I was looking at my anti-depressants feeling tired and just thought, 'ha, that's right!’"
"I mess with chopping up samples until I get an interesting loop so I never set out to write a track”, he goes on. “I'm led by the samples and then go from there. Funnily enough, my life now is actually way better than it was ten years ago and I'm a bit healthier and I probably actually do feel better in general - apart from when I had that brain haemorrhage last year”.
The track is the first taste of a forthcoming new album, with more new music to come soon. Watch the video for ‘I’ve Felt Better (Than I Do Now)’ here:
