Go-Go Sapien
This Body Is Wrong For Us
Popboomerang
Georges Pompidou, one-time President of France, suggested that it was the role of art to confront and challenge the society in which it exists. Conversely, the artist has constructed a residence on the margins of the dominant culture, casting a considered opinion on the complexities, inconsistencies and inanities that [...]

Gold Panda is the kind of producer that everyone lost their indie marbles over last year, but if you ask them why, they might not remember. His unique brand of warm-synth, light-bass-
