Fiction Family, collaboration between Jon Foreman of
Switchfoot and Sean Watkins of Nickel Creek, released their Christmas EP in last
2012. This EP is again available through Noisetrade for free or a small
donation. Just in time for Christmas and for a little fun listening!
A bouncing, light, and jestful romantic look at being with
the one you love at Christmas kicks off the Holiday EP with “I Don’t Need No
Santa Claus”. In 2013, Fiction Family
released their Reunion album containing the following two tracks which were
originally released on this EP in 2012. “Up Against The Wall” and “Damaged” are
well written and performed relationship songs perfect for soul searching during
the holiday season.
Included here is a. With slow but deliberate progression
this live version of “We Ride” from their self-titled first album lives and
breaths. “Don’t Say You Love Me,” tells of relationship ended with playful
lyrics and direct melody. “My Forgetful Baby” rounds out the EP with a hot
blues slide and lyrics to match. The recorded conversation at the end of the
tune shows the playfulness of the band.
While not exactly a joyful Christmas album made to lift
spirits, the Holiday EP is both fun and insightful while taking a sometimes-satirical
sometimes-serious look at the Christmas holiday.
