Whaddya Know! More New Music!

And the new music keeps rolling in 😊

Nate Kushner and Major Metals - "Tinsel"

Leading off our final new music post for this season is the very interesting, eyebrow-raising, perhaps not for the kiddies, EP from Nate Kushner and Major Metals Tinsel.

Tinsel treats us with four very original songs, "Eyes Wide Shut and Die Hard 2", "Lemmings (Fa la la la la la la Lemmings remix)", "The New Years Shoes", and "This Christmas (Onny Hathaway version)".  


Nate Kushner is a New York based singer-songwriter and producer releasing "experimental and comedy-adjacent" music as Major Metals.  Let me just quote Nate about his songs - it's easier that way.

• Eyes Wide Shut and Die Hard 2: a vibraphone driven Christmas jazz
original about finding comfort in a couple of very unconventional holiday
movies. You'll have to listen to find out which movies.
• Lemmings (Fa la la la la la la la Lemmings remix): a cursed celesta and
jingle bell reinterpretation of an older not-Christmas track.
• The New Year’s Shoes: a short acoustic sequel to Christmas Shoes, taking
the story to its logical conclusion
• This Christmas (Onny Hathaway version): a drop D sludge and doom cover
that keeps the vocal sincere.



This seems like something Christmas Underground would dig, but I haven't seen it there (yet).  I enjoyed this EP a bunch.  Slightly demented, highly amusing, undeniably seasonal.  Don't let the holiday go by without checking this one out.

Holidays.   So grateful Enjoy Shells

Jodi DiPiazza - "The First Christmas Day"

Musical prodigy and autism advocate, Jodi DiPiazza, has just released her debut single, “The First Christmas Day.” Just in time for the holidays, the classically trained composer and singer’s ballad recounts the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, set to an emphatic piano flourish highlighted by her expressive sincerity and dynamic vocal refrain.
