“Glyn’s renditions of popular Christmas songs are no different in experimentation from her original music as she takes you from the traditional Christmas sing-along to a futuristic compilation of something I like to call ‘Christmas on LSD’.” – Mind Equals Blown
“A true tour-de-force, Erica is a whirlwind of ideas with an attitude to match.” – The Deli Magazine
New York, NY | December 3, 2015 – Last year Brooklyn-based rocktronica artist and audio engineer/producer, Erica Glyn, unleashed her quirky Christmas EP, ‘The Glyn That Stole Christmas.‘ The 4-track EP that originally dropped on November 26th, 2013 via her BandCamp page and is now available on iTunes and CD Baby. Glyn received praise for her refreshingly unique renditions of your favorite holiday standards like “Jingle Bells” and “Silent Night.” The imaginatively creative DIY music video for her interpretation of the classic “Winter Wonderland”featuring NYC artist/producer Charley Hustle (The Hustle Standard) is an explosion of Christmas, complete with tacky sweaters, presents, hand cut paper snowflakes and so much more. The song has been described as, “dynamic” and transporting the listener “into a new type of winter wonderland”. Watch Erica Glyn’s “Winter Wonderland” here: http://youtu.be/P6Kabwl0Ltc
“The best part about making a holiday EP was the challenge of taking very traditional music that everyone is very familiar with and trying to make it fresh and different. I tried to create a new take on the material while still borrowing some instrumentation from traditional versions that are so familiar to us. I love doing cover songs because it allows me the freedom to really create something new without feeling so precious about the material.” – Erica Glyn
