If my count is to be trusted,
Twinkling City is the
sixth holiday release from
Lawndry. You'd be forgiven for thinking that if a band has released six holiday EPs that they are exclusively a
holiday band but Lawndry is just prolific!
The band constantly fuses organic and electronic approaches to songwriting. That notion persists through their non-holiday and holiday music alike.
Twinkling City has a full-on blast of dance music with "
Santa's at Berghain," a melancholy piano bop about forgetting to buy presents with "
Empty-Handed Man," and an unfurling, literally twinkling, piece about being a little shit coming home from college in "
Humbug Comes Home." And that's not all the songs - just a little taste.
They are songs that are created in earnest but not afraid to be a little amusing and delightful. One might say they are downright merry. Highly recommend the deep dive.
These songs are streaming on Apple, Spotify, etc but I'm only linking you to Bandcamp because this is a band you should support. Merry Christmas, every one.
