The Definitive Collection of Halloween Indie Rock Songs
While no one knows what exactly an Indie Christmas should be like, we have put together a package of mostly non-commercial, independent Christmas songs, which are sprinkled throughout this report.At some point, just about everyone has had enough of the traditional Christmas songs, so let's try out something else.
Here are some wonderful music videos (no waiting or streaming, plays instantly) of artists (some indie, some close enough) performing Christmas songs:
Fiona Apple sings "Frosty the Snowman"; Travis offers his own Christmas ballad "River"; Death Cab for Cutie play "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", The Flaming Lips perform "Christmas at the Zoo" and and Tim Sweeney presents "DFA Holiday Mix"
Other choices for an indie Christmas holidays include the Do You Hear What I Hear?, compilation, featuring fresh covers of traditional Christmas songs, like "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by Hem, "Holly Jolly Christmas" by The Format, and non-traditional songs like "Welcome Christmas" by The Clumsy Lovers.
There have been a good number of indie-themed Christmas albums and compliations released over the years by indie labels, most notably perhaps is Sufjan Stevens' simply titled and magnificent four EP box set Christmas Songs.The boxset feature offers sound quality tested music stream of all 4 EPs, plus information on what the box set contains, including writings from Sufjan himself.
You can also get exclusive MP3s from IRC.
Sample or buy the album's tracks at Emusic.
Labels: Alternative Christmas Songs, Christmas Songs, Indie Christmas Music, Sufjan Stevens
