Ancient carols done up in Synth Pop style? Count me in. Eric C. Powell is no newcomer to Synth Pop, having led the 90s band Turning Key, who opened for such acts as Flock of Seagulls, Missing Persons and Depeche Mode. Now living in Austin, Texas (where, it turns out, there's a thriving synthwave community) Eric is turning out solo albums like "Back To Life". His new Christmas single "O Come Emmanuel" featuring wife Andrea Powell, is currently a name-your-price download at Bandcamp, as is the 1987 (pre-Turning Key) demo recording of "A Wonderful Christmas".
