Nick's a Boston indie musician with several albums posted on Bandcamp, and for 2018 he knocked out an EP of holiday tunes. His predominant sound, at least on this collection, is indie pop-rock with synths. He deconstructs "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" on the tune "Sugar Plum," adding lyrics and rearranging the melody to fit the narrative, offers an ode to a "Greedy Little Boy," and throws open the dance floor on the opener "Love Love Love (On Xmas)." Holiday seduction is the topic on "Red Lingerie With White Fuzzy Trim," a whole world dedicated to Christmas is imagined on "Santa Planet," really vivid dreams are depicted in "Crystal Crystmas Sky," and things get really hallucinogenic on "The Great Christmas Airship Sails Toward Death." This won't be out until November 30, but you can check it out at least in part at his Bandcamp page.
