Have Yourself a Scary Little Christmas!
A gothic holiday collection of familiar tunes and ditties with an eerie twist
Mayhem Studio announces the release of "Have Yourself a Scary Little Christmas," a gothic collection of familiar holiday tunes, performed on solo piano by arranger Kris Knight with an eerie twist.
This instrumental collection of sometimes-humorous, sometimes-somber yuletide classics is the perfect unique holiday music compilation for people that are tired of the same old adult contemporary retreads that are released year after year to commemorate the season. "Have Yourself a Scary Little Christmas" turns around all expectations for holiday music with a release that is both hauntingly beautiful and darkly funny at the same time.
As a virtuosic piano recording, "Have Yourself a Scary Little Christmas" defies easy categorization. While inherently funny in concept and execution, the tunes are played by Knight with heart, passion and skill, making this album equally suited for personal enjoyment on an iPod and atmospheric music at a formal dinner party.
In a review in Haunt Search Magazine (hauntsearch.net), Rick Whitlow says, "One of my favorite [tracks] is 'Frosty (gets a tan),' which starts off with the Funeral March, then blends into a delightfully dreary minor-keyed version of 'Frosty the Snowman.' All the songs on this album... immediately conjure up memories of something Lurch from The Addams Family would have played on the organ. It's a delightfully novel album that will add a macabre touch to any haunter's 'winter wonderland.'"
An EP released late last year sold well beyond expectations, so be sure to get your own copy today!
