It's Santa! from gavin guss on Vimeo.
Happy solstice, everyone! To help brighten up these dark days, here’s a video for my new Christmas tune, "It's Santa!".
It's a reworking of the '60s pop song, "Sorrow", which has been recorded by The Merseys and David Bowie.
High-quality MP3 download of “It’s Santa!” available here:

“…A good old-fashioned 12-track, 32-minute blast of assured pop thrills.”
Shindig! Magazine
“Vibrant guitars, a pleasing croon, and crisp production make On High a dulcet, catchy spin.”
Seattle Weekly
“The songs are loaded with hooks and infectious melodies, and the catchiness quotient never wanes.” www.vinylunderreview.com
“Gavin Guss returns after his sharp debut and happy to report there isn't a sophomore slump...the brilliant “Will To Fly” with its solid melody and catchy chorus really impressed me.”

What the press has to say about Mercury Mine:
“Pure now for pop people, this is.”
- Goldmine Magazine
“...Full of irresistible pop melodies and songs that range from wistful to mournful, these emotions often ping-ponging within the same track. A fine work that could rank on several Top 10 of 2010 lists. If you're a pop music junkie who likes a bit of full-bodied mellow in their music, you can do no better than Mercury Mine.”
- Bucketfull Of Brains (The Bob)
“Pure ear candy that is not to be missed.”
- Powerpopaholic.com
“Just exploding with indie-pop goodness. You don't get songs like this very often these days and that's a shame. Makes you glad that guys like Guss exist.”
- EarCandyMag.com
“Mercury Mine is simply a power pop lover's dream.”
- Bill's Music Forum
