(About MP3 downloads at CD Baby)

Innovative electronic-based music that skirts the typical dance genre and finds a home between catchy indie pop and noisy math rock. Odd-yet-dance-friendly time signatures, experimental production, and sharp hooks all help set The Christmas Lights apart.

notes

The Christmas Lights! are the electronic creations of Kenny Tompkins. Tompkins has worked as a singer/songwriter and producer for several projects including The Trend and The Royal Army Recording Company, as well as recording and touring as a solo artist.

In 2007 The Christmas Lights! released a split album(with label mates Emil) titled “10 Paces”. This record was received very positively by independent press and fans alike for its mix of 8-bit sugar-pop and experimental noise construction. "Walk Like A Human", The Christmas Lights! debut full-length release, is a mix of ambience, harsh distortion, 3-part harmony vocals, and odd-yet-dance-friendly time signatures. It was written, recorded, mixed and mastered by Kenny Tompkins at the RARC in Frostburg, Maryland.

    Unsigned Artist of the Month WTMD 89.7 Baltimore - The Christmas Lights make biting, experimental electro-pop. The brainchild of Frostburg-based singer/songwriter Kenny Tompkins, the band released its first full-length album, Walk Like a Human, this summer. The songs on Walk Like a Human feature swirling synthesizers, pounding beats and three part-harmonies. Tompkins created a mix of both dreamy and nightmarish soundscapes on the album, which is one of the better records to come out of the area this year.
