Holiday Flyer :: Snowballing [Fingerpaint Records, 1994]

Something I haven't been doing for a while that I said I was going to try to do more is focus on old records – good ones, of course – so I'm going to actually start doing that more, starting now.

Roseville, California's Holiday Flyer were formed around 1993 by siblings John and Katie Conley and they remained a duo until their second LP, The Rainbow Confection. While I love their other records, my favorite thing they ever did still remains their first single, "Snowballing." It was released in 1994 on Fingerpaint Records, before their move to Silver Girl Records, and finally, Darla. It is my personal opinion that there is no finer record for falling asleep to than "Snowballing" and I'm thinking you might feel the same after you here it. John and Katie create something similar to the, um, softness, of The Softies, but with a certain warmth – mostly due to the hum of organ and keys – that you can't quite get from Rose and Jen, though the vocal harmonies are just as disarming. The late zine Caught In Flux once said of Holiday Flyer, "[they're] comforting like a cup of hot chocolate...on a drizzly weekend morning." Indeed. That particular description could be no less perfect if I said myself. If you have a heart, get this, and it will feel better.

Little known fact - Mark from the Red House Painters almost covered "Runaround" by Holiday Flyer. Don't know if he ever recorded a version or not. By far their best song.

This is Fantastic. I love this band and have not listened to them for a long time. I have heard only one record - very eager to hear more - and something so rare is a real & unexpected treat. THANKS.
