Each record is painted on one side and plays two NSPS holiday classics on the other side: "Santa Hat" featuring Deni Bonet and "Shouldn't Start on Christmas.
The price is high because each disk was separately recorded via lathe, so each has a unique recording and paint job. (Don't worry — we won't actually make any money! ;-) ) Note that these lathe-cuts are not high-fidelity, but scratchy, mono recordings. That's all part of the fun.

lyrics
Well Christmas has carols
And monkeys have barrels
And that's how it always will be
Till the world grows hazy
And we all go crazy
And then we will just have to see
How it all pans out in the long run
Will the year changing, change you and me?
Will we find meaning before the world's gone
Or should we just go get some tea?
I said it was a joke
But I was just kidding
I meant it with sincerity
But if I always spoke
The words I was thinking
They'd learn of my insanity
What will it feel like when the wind blows?
Will I get happy when I get old?
Will I insist on wearing the same clothes
Or will I adjust to the cold?
How will it pan out in the long run?
Will the year changing, change you and me?
Will we find meaning before the world's gone
Or should we just go get some tea?

released December 4, 2020
Written by Jeremy Mathews. Performed by Mathews, John Howa, Sarah Morton, Steve Taggart.
Withered Hand is quieter and more straight-forward than NSPS, but shares a certain outlook. Dan Willson is one of the best songwriters around—he can make you smile and tear up in the same rhyme. NSPS
In addition to making me feel better by taking (almost?) as long as NSPS to finish a new album, swo17 washes over you with rich sonic textures. Become one with the music. NSPS
