RCRD LBL: "Get ready to play 'The Book of Matches' on repeat for the rest of the day. Or rather, resist that cause if you think this song is as totally bad ass as it can get, wait til they add bloody horns on 'We Used To Dream About Bridges.' ...if [Alphabet Graveyard] isn't the most jubilant record to tickle your ears all summer, I'm a goddamned monkey's uncle."
Daytrotter: "When the mirror ball lights are spinning across the neighborhood and people are dancing in the broken light as if they were in a club, though with less ecstatic faces, just surveying what they've gotten themselves into and what they want out of the charade, that's when we're there, right where the Gentleman Auction House wants us."

GAH is a band that very publicly proclaims their love for the Christmas holiday and has always added a little Yuletide cheer into everything they do. Take "Alphabet Graveyard"'s "24th" or the longtime live-only songs "Home For The Holidays" and "Christmas Not As It Is But As It Will Be" (both of which are represented on "Christmas In Love", the latter serving as the EP's title track). With Christmas, and the holiday season itself, being a reoccurring thread in songwriter Eric Enger's quickly-growing catalog (this marks GAH's third release of 2008!), it was only a matter of time before the touchstone topic materialized into a six-song Christmas present of snow-dusted pop.
"Christmas in Love" is a joyful display of Enger's intrinsic ability to craft gigantically jubilant pop choruses juxtaposed with poignant lyrical insights, all from the comfort of his modest basement studio. Hop-scotch melodies peppered with candy-coated instrumentation make for a gloriously dynamic take on classic holiday tradition. Enger and company have stuffed their sleigh full of brand new tracks that just may end up being caroled on your neighbor's doorsteps for many holiday seasons to come. Scattering an assortment of Gentleman Auction House originals, both new and reinvented, as well as a playfully reworked classic, "Christmas in Love" should make for a wish list favorite this holiday season.
Coming off of a long year of relentless touring and the growing success of their debut full-length, "Alphabet Graveyard", GAH show no signs of slowing down. "Christmas in Love" will be in stores everywhere via Santa, and Emergency Umbrella Records, on November 18th, 2008 and you can catch Gentleman Auction House on tour throughout the rest of the year. Who knows, they just might be bringing some holiday cheer to your hometown this December...
