Gold Panda, who last week released his new album, ‘Good Luck and Do Your Best’ – has today dropped the visuals for standout track ‘Chiba Nights’. Directed by Dan Combs, the video is a Japanese-inspired haze focusing on unusual records, video games and payphones.

Speaking about the process behind making the visuals, Combs offered a little insight, stating:

“Spending a week in Tokyo and surrounding areas of Chiba and Minowa with Derwin, searching for unusual records, video games, payphones, workwear and LaserDiscs I captured the rich visual environment of the country and fun moments spending time with friends and family.

This is sliced into a grid of sixteen squares in reference to the MPC sampler that Gold Panda creates all his music with, changing with the rhythm of the track colliding the sights, colours and shapes together and breaking out in psychedelic kaleidoscopes.”

‘Good Luck and Do Your Best’ is a record that explores breakbeats, hip-hop and jazz. Inspired by a trip to Japan, Gold Panda uses a rich palette of sounds to create twinkling melodies and funky basslines.

‘Good Luck & Do Your Best’ is out now on City Slang via Inertia Music.
