James Pants

March 1, 2010

Seven Seals

RATING:

Stones Throw Records proves the perfect home for James Pants’ oddball disco/electro reductions. On Seven Seals, Pants expands his oeuvre while defying categorisation. The result: an audacious album that superimposes pop melodies and structure with strains of krautrock, library music, electro, disco and psychedelia. Live and synthetic drums weave through processed vocals and swathes of warped analogue sound. Casios collide with synthesised bass and live horns. Silly, rambunctious, serious and funky, open your mind to James Pants and glimpse his twisted, digital future. Declan Kelly
