James Pants - Clouds Over the Pacific

Here is James Pants' single from his self-titled third album.  The album was recently released on May 2.  Here is what New York Times columnist Ben Ratliff had to say about it

“James Pants’s self-titled third album on Stones Throw slides among dispositions — woozy guitarscapes, octave-jumping disco bass lines, electro, doo-wop, cheap and dated keyboard tinklings, confrontational shouts bobbing in reverb. He’s a disorienting one-man band, playing every instrument, even saxophone, and a record-spinner at heart … There are lots of tunes lodged in this record. The tracks seem to have hidden reserves, pockets within pockets; they develop hooks in weird places. Sweetness suddenly emerges out of fuzzy slime, and startling emotions rise from merely cool ones.”

Anyway, check out the single and I highly recommend giving the whole album a listen.  I'm a big fan.
