It's Bandcamp Friday which means if you buy my new album today, I'll get all the money! If enough people buy it (and you can pay anything!) I'll stop making unpopular niche projects like this one and focus on making another Christmas album.

I released a new Christmas album a week ago. It's different from the other Christmas music I've made in that I wrote and recorded it pretty quickly rather than spending years on it. I think it mostly holds up.
