“If the weather has got you down, you need a hearty helping of Lushy—Seattle’s best lounge-pop combo and a surefire cure for winter doldrums. While everyone else is singing about Santa and Rudolph, Annabella Kirby and company have concocted a fizzy, fun holiday album full of high jinks and highballs (not to mention cheese balls) guaranteed to get you back in the holiday spirit(s). In fact, “Snowflake Surprise” might be one of those rare seasonal albums that stands up to year-round spins. Effervescent and eclectic, Lushy are the perfect soundtrack for any time of the year, but the band’s breezy, tiki-fueled cocktail music is a welcome ray of sunshine in the heart of winter.” Barbara Mitchell-The Stranger
