CMU Approved

Approved: James Pants (SNAP Of The Day)

By | Published on Wednesday 1 July 2009

Friends at the recent Sonar festival in Barcelona were raving about James Pants’ live set, highlighting it over the likes of Orbital and Grace Jones as THE set of the event. The recorded version of this guy’s work is not quite the same, but there’s still great things to be found in his lo-fi approach to electronica, which is firstly redolent of New Yorkers Suicide, though never quite as devilishly seductive, and with the spirit of Zapp’s synth funk thrown in. I guess this SNAP is really recommending going to see his live show when he next crosses ‘the pond’ for UK dates. Still, ‘I Live Inside An Egg’ is entirely bonkers and loveable. Check it out at the link below.
