Or so say the kind folks at the Direct Current website anyway. The story says this will be their third independently released album, following on from a studio album last year and a live album due any minute now -- right around the time they hit the studio to record the holiday disc. (Most Christmas music fanatics already know this, but the vast majority of Christmas albums tend to be recorded in the summer, which is why these projects tend not to be a slam dunk -- it's one thing to be sitting around drinking beers on Black Friday and saying, hey, what would be a good lineup for a Christmas album, quite another to be laboring over the same idea with Memorial Day barbecues fresh in one's mind.) UPDATE: The title of the album is Holly Happy Days, set for October release.
