There’s no way out for Now Its Art when they hard rock “Depressed for Christmas“. Crying doesn’t help.
Nate Funk goes all in on “All I Get for Christmas Is Depression“. Jazz band ska, so it’s a party. Sigh.
“The Most Depressing Time of the Year” is high octane pop from Crash Test Anthem. Millennial bitching, basically. Aspirin over valium here.
“Winter in My Heart” is that poetic diagnosis that raises red flags. Atomic Neon slurs their indie to make you worry.
You may have been looking for the overserved lounge act, “Most Depressing Time of the Year” where Toiley T. Paper (feat. John B. Dehaas) debate the ups and downs of the partying. Comedy over parody. Ben Coleman also sends up ‘Wonderful’ with far less humor.
“Seasonal Depression (A Christmas Song)” poses John Trent as a Dylanesque troubadour sniping on mental illness. Folk pop condescension.
WE’s “This Blizzard’s Got Me Down” has got them nearly comatose with unhappiness. Snow Day has never been worse than in this indie.
Also with Seasonal Affected Disorder The Night Hobs haul out the violins for “Winter is Here“, the trigger for barely holding on. Indie moodiness.
This life is killing my Christmas soul, sings Little Bear in “Little Bear & The Christmas Soul“. We suffer a hard alt rock pounding as well when atonal chaos ensues.
From Contents Under Pressure’s Christmas musical the floor drops out under “Holiday Despair“. As it is a musical, emotional progress is made. So, not really despair. Just a reversal of plot.
