What if Santa partied hard on Christmas? Would he have the skills on Christmas Day? What if Santa Claus got crunked out of his goddamn mind! Does he know I know he knows?That he’s too impaired to fly? The elves all say! Impound that sleigh! He’s too impaired to fly! We’ll get those presents there another time!

about

The material on the album represents a vision I have about music and how it relates to a finely tuned machine capable of enumerable precise movements. Being an integral part of such a creation requires that synchronicity be key. Small events add up and become one powerful motion as they are functional roles of the system. A fantastic machine such as this has to rely on each of its parts working together flawlessly to propel the vehicle in a dynamic manner. In case of misfire, always return to Top Dead Center- Nathan Peck, 2015

I love this record because Frank LoCrasto's thing is an analog keyboard epic playground with my drummer Brian Wolfe laying down some serious beats! Nathan Peck Music
