An eclectic jazz influenced deconstruction of commercial Christmas offerings; nobody - but nobody - deconstructs Christmas like New X.
Bio / Background
Billy Curmano's New X Art Ensemble
NEW X: XMAS
When you've finally had enough commercial Christmas fare - nobody - but nobody - deconstructs Christmas like New X. Arguments, and nearly a fist fight, broke out in the isolated farm house that serves as the world headquarters for the New X Art Ensemble at just the thought of a Christmas recording. That was until it was plain to hear it wouldn't be just another Christmas cash cow - or God forbid - a "sell out" or even an Elvis Christmas. It would take a decidedly different twist and be recorded right there in the living room on a boombox and good old Fostex four track. The boys liked it so much they decided to re-release it on compact disc with all its low tech, anti-commercial charm. Their engineer was aghast, at first thinking, filter this; filter that, until he got it and realized he had too preserve the spirit of deconstruction and retain that funky, down home farm house quality.
