"A guy and his pregnant wife making music" in Seattle brings us this 2016 mini-collection of Christmas originals. (Apparently the kid is out and about since this Bandcamp blurb was written.) This is acoustic pop, nicely orchestrated and arranged, starting with "Ice Storm 2008," a singalong holiday ode no doubt based on a real-life experience. "Oh Holy Night (There's Only Love)" is more pensive and not based on the familiar carol, "Not Giving Up" and "Beloved" are minor-key ballads with religious overtones, and "Cheers to Your Holiday" is a little more upbeat lyrically to close the EP. More mellow than we normally go for, but these are good original songs well played.
