James Pants Readies Welcome Album For Stones Throw
Published Tuesday, 15th April, 2008 at 6:31 PM
James Pants has signed with Stones Throw for the release of his debut album 'Welcome'.
We first hinted that Mr Pants would be inking a deal with the label back in late 2006, when we also posted the video for this track 'Do A Couple Of Things' and it's still online here if you want to watch.
Details of the album, ie a tracklisting hasn't been given yet, but the record is said to be a fusion of "80s Soul, Electro Boogie, Early Rap, New Wave, & Post-Punk Disco". James himself impressively plays a wide variety of instruments on 'Welcome', such as drums, keys, guitar and vocals.
The press blurb describes the LP as "the most eclectic Stones Throw release to date" - no easy task considering the acts the label has given us so far. 'Welcome' is released on May 27th in the US (May 26th is likely for the UK).
