“Silent Night, Boring Night” is an expected choral parody by Roxie Maisel. Okay, the growing Jewish resentment was entertaining.
Nothing else matters, sing By Surprise in “No Mistletoe” about Xmas. But they just don’t care. And they sing that too. Existentializing indie with amp overloads.
Ben Smith ‘s “Last Needle” begins as an ode to a dying Xmas tree, but actually celebrates his breakup with you. He’s fine with it, as so much of those holiday chores were onerous. Echoic retro pop.
It’s a King Thing approaches holiday love like, oh i dunno, something or other. “Embrimas” is romance without affect, holiday without a care, music without motion.
Not wanting to go out but only stay in, Stayers report on “Chicken Ridiculous” with an indolence grown of having been there donned that. Slow roll club indie.
Young Statues does go out, but then loses interest singing “I Don’t Wanna Know What’s Under Your Tree“. Kids seem to blame somehow in this indie pop bandsplosion.
