Former Grandaddy frontman Jason Lytle is offering a whole mini-album as a free download on his website as a Christmas gift to all his fans.
Merry X-Mas 2009 is made up of seven piano-based improvisational songs. "I set up some microphones in my living room and recorded about 35 minutes of improvisational piano music, and......
It just so happens that playing my piano at home is one of my favorite things to do (in terms of music) so it was nice to be able to capture some of these moments of me just playing aimlessly and relaxed.
So....in appreciation to those of you who bought my album this year, or came to the shows, or donated money to help my sister, or even to those of you who did none of those things....here is a gift from me."
Lytle also revealed that he is working on a new solo album and that it will be "the weirdest, most wonderful mayhem [he has] made yet!"
The tracklist for 'Merry X-Mas 2009' is:
'Last Conversation In Waltz Time'
'Wild Animals Slowly Approaching The Lovely Country Funeral'
'Out Cold On Indian Ambien'
'Meeshell'
'Good Chord Song For LP Two'
'Bird Feeder Soap Opera Plot'
'SepDecember Song'
