The premiere release from Seattle-based Substance W, A Boiling Vat Of Adhesive Xmas (pronounced “ex-muss” in case you miss the comic book reference) is a 74-minute nonstop genre-jumping marathon of unpredictable yet highly accessible takes on Christmas songs old and new. If you’re a fan of incredibly strange music, celebrity “golden throats,” Perrey & Kingsley, Combustible Edison, The Residents, electronica, punk rock, Esquivel, the occasional attack of a monophonic CASIO keyboard, or you sometimes like to impersonate Neil Diamond at karaoke bars... Well then, this album was made especially for you, by people just like you. “Christmas carols as they might have been done by The Residents.” -- Dr. Demento "the musical equivalent of a roller coaster ride" ... "one long, strange trip of a Christmas album... and man, it was FUN!" -- A Christmas Yuleblog "truly extraordinary, like nothing ever done before" ... "my favorite Christmas album of the year" -- Berkeley Place Blog
