Mr Dave Parker, music producer/engineer extraordinaire, has been working away in his home-based studio on a beautiful Oratia farm for quite a while now. The man behind such increasingly admired recordings of Artisan Guns, Bear Cat and Great North, has recently been assembling some local favourites for a Christmas album.

 

Auckland Central Library was lucky enough to host a number of the album’s contributors back in NZ Music Month, who have all since released their own EPs and albums to generate some of 2010’s best New Zealand music.

 

Dear Time’s Waste, Tono (of the Finance Company) and Great North, whose recent releases have all won the admiration of the country’s major critics, appear on the Very Little Christmas compilation. The album includes an impressive line-up of the city’s finest alternative/folk/rock/miscellaneous artists, who are inspired by Christmas time, Christmas Songs, and Christmas Pudding.

 

The best part is the album will be available for free download! You can send the link to your loved ones as a priceless Christmas present! So thank you Mr Parker for getting this amazing project together, and to all the artists for contributing! It’s going to be a sweet sweet Christmas.

Keep your eyes on Little Monster Studio and A Very Little Christmas
