Jensen Sportag’s Perfect Strangers EP Series continues this month with the impending release of Jackie, due March 3 on the band’s own Midisport imprint. Following in the schizoid-dance footsteps of December’s Sergio, the latest from this Nashville-based live-electronic duo is 9 tracks of robotronic American girl tributes, sweaty electro rap epics, & House music for power pop twerps & Hall & Oates fans. Plus, it’s loaded down with remixes, most notable of which comes from Domino Records wildman & longtime Sportag proponent Max Tundra. That remix is on the way, but in the meantime have a listen to the title track below.

02. Victim: This one has an overtly sexual message with musical references to early electro rap and epic soul.
