A successful 2019 ends with our penultimate 'Atomicat' album 'The Twelve Rockin' Days of Christmas, The Grown-Up Christmas' (Atomicat ACCD032). The album takes a different approach towards compiling a Christmas album. Most certainly I include songs which are related to the season of joy, togetherness and childhood memories. I however look at Christmas from different eyes, those of a grown-up who no longer believes in Santa Claus, but naturally wishes to celebrate. My approach to the album is based upon the assumption that; you are in theory responsible adults, but more than likely interested in getting drunk, getting laid, dancing, partying and a receiving a Christmas gift or two. You probably have little interest in going to church, hearing odes to 'Little Donkey' and the Carol 'Silent Night' and want revelry, that is why I made this album for you. The 'The Twelve Rockin' Days of Christmas, The Grown-Up Christmas' (ACCD032) concept is based around the gifts offered in the evergreen rhyme 'The Twelve Days Of Christmas'. I use rockin' and danceable songs which are as close as possible compatible with the twelve corresponding days, and seasonal songs are slotted in between. Two extra songs are included which fit with the concept and make the musical story complete.
