Gold Panda Readies New Album Ton Up

The Story

I must have fallen asleep in 2026 and woken up in 2010; She & Him are performing on Kimmel and Gold Panda just announced a new album. Derwin Dicker has kept plenty busy since then, but the point stands. He’ll share Ton Up, described in an Instagram post as “eight rough-hewn dance tracks and two cozy little service-station interludes,” on June 26 via Studio Barnhus. Below, check out a new single called “Ding the Motor,” plus the album’s cover art. (Be forewarned if you have trypophobia, kinemortophobia or musophobia—that one’s a fear of rats!)

Revisit the review of Gold Panda’s last album, 2023’s The Work.
