Press Release
You are probably asking your self who James Pants is… well read on and it will
all become clear!
This one man phenomenon heralds from a small, isolated home town in Spokane,
Washington, where he locks himself up in his garage and makes some of the
funkiest, other worldly genre-defying music you’ll hear this year. But to truly
know the man behind the pants, we have to travel back to 2001, to a rave in
Texas.
Stones Throw head honcho Peanut Butter Wolf was DJing – when a sharply dressed
young man approached the DJ booth with his prom date in tow to formally
introduce himself and offered to take him record shopping. What began as a dream
prom night to see his hero DJ lead to an internship at the label, and eventually
on to landing the ultimate fantasy and being signed to the roster. He’s being
championed as the “next big thing” by none other than Peanut Butter Wolf
himself, and critics from magazines such as Urb, XLR8R, and Dazed & Confused.
James Pants has that “new sound” that appeals to the masses, for sure. If you go
to the new downtown clubs any night of the week, you’ll hear that unmistakable
fresh beat, of which Mr. Pants is a purveyor par excellence: 80’s soul, electro
boogie, early rap, new wave, & post-punk disco, all of which can be found on
this EP.
This 5 tracker only touches the surface of James’ many styles and with an added
bonus of a Peanut Butter Wolf edit this is a sure fire winner and will no doubt
find its way onto sure to it’s way to many a dance-floor!
Keep a look out for the album 'Welcome'
which hits the streets in May!!
