Gold Panda‘s new full-length, Half of Where You Live, arrives June 11. And its latest single, “We Work Nights”, is one that’s extremely personal for the U.K. producer. In addition to capturing the vibe of his live shows through intense layering and steady grooves, it refers to his days spent working the late shifts at various jobs. A press release reveals that he worked 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. at a mail-sorting office along with a bunch of other gigs, like “helping idiots onto buses” at the Stansted airport at 4 in the morning. Can’t knock the hustle.
