Monk Turner offers the soundtrack to your less than perfect holiday season with his latest release, Holiday Party!. The album is an acoustic jazzy exploration of the bittersweet joys of November, December, and January. It captures a lively, communal party vibe with ambient chatter, echoing the playful energy of The Beach Boys classic Party!. Lead single “I Wish the Holidays Could Last All Year” expresses the longing for warmth and togetherness to extend beyond a single season, while “Happy Holiday Heartbreak” reflects the sadness and awkwardness of spending the holidays with family after a breakup. “Elf on the Shelf” (sung by his daughter) tells a whimsical story of mischievous holiday surveillance, full of playful imagery and fun instrumental moments, and “Friendsgiving” celebrates friendship as a chosen family, turning a stressful holiday gathering into a joyful, inclusive experience.
