Album Notes

The Christmas Lights! are the electronic creations of Kenny Tompkins. Tompkins has worked as a singer/songwriter and producer for several projects including The Trend and The Royal Army Recording Company, as well as recording and touring as a solo artist.

In 2007 The Christmas Lights! released a split album(with label mates Emil) titled “10 Paces”. This record was received very positively by independent press and fans alike for its mix of 8-bit sugar-pop and experimental noise construction. \"Walk Like A Human\", The Christmas Lights! debut full-length release, is a mix of ambience, harsh distortion, 3-part harmony vocals, and odd-yet-dance-friendly time signatures. It was written, recorded, mixed and mastered by Kenny Tompkins at the RARC in Frostburg, Maryland.

The songs on Walk Like a Human feature swirling synthesizers, pounding beats and three part-harmonies. Tompkins created a mix of both dreamy and nightmarish soundscapes on the album, which is one of the better records to come out of the area this year.
