Sentinel, Night Flowers and Lambchop

It's becoming only weekly that I update the blog, I'm sorry for that but this week I'm ill so I have an excuse. Whilst I die of man flu get a listen to these picks from the week in Indie Christmas music. 

We generally focus on bigger acts but Sentinel asked politely and backed it up with a corking version of Sleigh Ride last year so when they tweeted a link to this years cover of I'll be home for Christmas we had to have a listen. It's all a bit cocteau twins with circling vocals and restrained guitar. Another winner in our book. If you give them a email address there are a few Christmas songs on their bandcamp, enough for a mini album next year maybe. 

Night Flowers got our attention at the start of the year with the brilliant cruel wind, partiuarly it's wonderful shuttle launch video. Now it's Christmas and their name cropped up again with a cover of the pretenders 2000 miles. Yours on bandcamp for as much as you are willing to give them. Proceeds are being given to CALM a wonderful campaign to prevent male suicide in memory of a fan who recently died.

If you look far enough back in their history you'll find a previous Christmas single. 

Finally Lambchop, it's not about Christmas or December really but we stretched our definition of a xmas song a long time ago. So here is new music from another one of those bands who we'd love to hear a Christmas album from. It's lovely thing all vocoddered singing and production tricks but it's got very little to do with the season apart from off hand references to cold weather. So really it's here through me liking it rather than any suggestion it could be used on a Christmas mix.

Best Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas covers

Image
Ok done a few of these now, where I compile the finest alternative versions of a particular Christmas song. This time its Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. The original from Meet Me in St Louis comes at a rather sad moment in the film. This seems to give acts a decision, either to take it on with the original sombre tone or to follow the lyrics and inject some Merry into the proceedings. I've chosen ten so i'll count them down finishing with my favourite. 10. Maricka Hackman goes the sad route injecting the longing from the film, but don't let that put you off, it's beautiful take with distorted vocals to keep it interesting 9. My Morning Jacket are no happier but their version is no less lovely. An acoustic guitar and a voice for most of this. 8 . Do you remember when Coldplay were a genuinely interesting alternative act? I am afraid I'm old enough. This is almost a crooners version, straight of a Jo Whiley live session for BBC Radio One. 7. Cat

Best Little Drummer Boy covers

Image
Have to admit Little Drummer Boy is one of my favourite traditional Christmas songs. I even like the much maligned Bing Crosby and David Bowie version weird as that combination is. Here's my top ten of the best Indie Alternative versions. As ever let me know what you think below or on twitter @xmassongblog. Firstly some honourable mentions for versions that didn't quite make the list. Lindstrom's epic journey is great but maybe grates a little by the 5th minute of incessant drum machine on the edited version. I'll admit I never saw through the 42 minute original! . Sufjan Steven's gave us a version (of course he did) and it's lovely (well of course it is) and Cerys Matthews of Catatonia did a version and I'm a sucker for it but none of them made the list so who did? 10 Iggy Pop is on crooner duty here. I've said it before full Christmas album by Mr Pop would be fantastic. Very few people have the spoken word expression he does. 9 Iain Archer
