This Portland, Oregon band (actually just Lane Muller) isn't on Green Monkey Records, but maybe he should be, as he claims to have recorded this EP in November 2016. Four originals of nice lo-fi alt-pop-rock for the holiday, with the title song proclaiming the coming of Santa, "A Whale's Christmas in Childress, TX" noting that everything's bigger there, including apparently holidays, "Manger Scene" creating a pensive soundscape for the virgin birth, and "the Meaning (Of Christmas)" offering upbeat music with downbeat thoughts. Check him out on Bandcamp, and keep in mind that your $1 will go to his local Salvation Army.
