Floor Filler: Otenba Kid’s Pink Panther EP
The latest from Maltine Records requires know super deep analysis, at least not on a Friday night. The relatively mysterious Otenba Kid’s Pink Panther EP is a rollicking set of disco and house tunes, recalling artists such as Cherryboy Function on shimmering opener “G.o.o.d.y,” which matches bright synthesizer up against piano lines. It’s a high-energy dance number that previews what is to come, ranging from the skippy, sample-centric title track to the guitar-assisted burn of closer “You Gonna Be Rock.” I’m sure there is plenty to unpack here…but for right now, it’s best just to dive in. Get it here.
