From the glory of "Handel's Messiah" and "Angels We Have Heard On High" to the goofiness of 1950's novelty song "I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For Christmas" and "Santa Clause Is Thumbing To Town" (wherein Relient K imagines a Christmas full of catastrophes that reduce St. Nick to hitchhiking), Let It Snow, Baby�Let It Reindeer captures the many sides of the season.
There's elation ("I Celebrate The Day") and depression ("I Hate Christmas Parties"), nods to "Boxing Day" and New Year's Eve ("Auld Lang Syne" - with a new ending) and lots of old-fashioned fun along the way ("Deck The Halls," "12 Days of Christmas," "Sleigh Ride," "We Wish You A Merry Christmas," to name a few). The collection was produced by Mark Lee Townsend and Relient K vocalist, Matt Thiessen.
The band will launch a co-headlining tour with Switchfoot on October 16th in Charleston, WV (details to be announced shortly).
