Jon Athans Project - Hard Holidays EP

For fans of The Postal Service, Her Space Holiday, Hot Chip, Stars, Notwist, James Figurine, Thom Yorke, Death Cab For Cutie, Matthew Dear, Junior Boys, Aqueduct, etc... lots of influences, too many to list... This was originally intended as a simple small home spun collection of demo material by Jon Athans Project to give friends and family an idea of the new sound and direction my writing was taking. It was finished, packaged and placed in stockings in the wee hours of Christmas night (2007) and released for free download at www.jonathansproject.com as a debut. "Hard Holidays is a 6 track bedroom demo EP loaded with blips, bleeps, strums & beats backing 5 original works and 1 Dntel (The Postal Service) remix. Intimate and emotional, jonAthan?s soft and digital sound-craft is dashed with warm acoustics, rich harmonies and heartfelt lyrics." http://www.jonathansproject.com "a gorgeously understated listen" - mp3hugger.com "frequent yet never excessive beats, engaging ambient effects, ethereal guitars in shoe-gazing style, melody thrown randomly here and there and a slightly strained voice that appears every once and a while. this album is perfect for clearing your head and staring out the window at the raindrops, light, and cement." - indieforbunnies.com "a seductive combination of electronica and hushed vocals" - lostinyourinbox.com "nice and relaxing - makes you feel good on a rainy day" - allthepeoples.com Jon Athans Project Hard Holidays Demo EP December 24th, 2007 Release 1) AM Alarm 2) Humid in Town 3) Hard Holidays (Silent Night Mix) 4) Used Books, Torn Pages 5) Nations 6) Dumb Luck (jonAthan's Home Alone Mid-20s Remix) dumb luck original by dntel all other songs written & programmed by jonAthan blips bleeps strums & beats recorded in my bedroom art & packaging by tia ninzeheltzer "bedrooms make the music"
