James Pants is a thrift store scouring music-obsessive from Spokane, Washington and when we say his music sounds exactly like that description, we mean it as a profound compliment. His newest album, Welcome, is full of spot-on grooves that trip sensors last toggled in 1984. Here, Pants tells us how he went from teenage Peanut Butter Wolf fan to being a key player on Wolf's label and gives us a taste of the "Golden Oldies" act he's warming up crowds with on Jamie Lidell's latest tour.
