Rich Aucoin x The Grinch

While the jury's still out on whether or not Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is supposed to sync up with “The Wizard of Oz” (if I were the jury foreman, I'd say "nay!") let there be no doubts about the compatibility of Dr. Seuss' “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” and Personal Publication, the debut EP from Canadian Indie Poppeteer Rich Aucoin. The Halifax, Nova Scotia resident who comes off as a Canuck Sufjan Stevens, based on both his sound and the fact that he knows his way around twenty-plus instruments, has created an impressive musical masterpiece that just so happens to serve as a beautiful compliment to the 1966 classic made for TV Christmas Cartoon that has become a holiday classic. Who knows, maybe in two decade’s time they'll be airing the movie with Aucoin's album as part of a new Christmas tradition.
