Take a walk on the wild side with Important Records as your guide! IMPREC Podcast #2 travels the outer reaches of experimental pop with a bunch of extraordinary tracks from artists on the label’s roster, most with up-coming Spring and Summer releases. The music kicks off with the baroque vocal stylings of Sal Mineo, which is Xiu Xiu’s Jamie Stewart in collaboration with Eugene S. Robinson of Oxbow, and the duo will release a debut LP this coming April via the label.

I’ll stop talking, you start listening…
