Indie X-Mas!

available on iTunes:
VARIOUS ARTISTS - (Not Just) Another X-Mas Album
Today we had the first snowfall of the season here in Stavanger. This is a rainy town, and the snow tends to melt away in a day or two. Despite the cold wind, the slippery sidewalks and wet shoes the snow managed to inspire thoughts of a white x-mas (which are not all that common here on the west coast). Anyway, when we finally arrived at the office we dug out "(Not Just) Another X-Mas Album", an alternative X-Mas album we released in 2004, and pumped up the office stereo. Lo and behold, instant X-Mas mood all around! (in an indie / ironic way of course, we do have an image to protect). What can we tell you, this is just a great album, and it hasen´t aged one bit. This is what we said when we released the album four years ago, and we think this is still a valid statement: We are soooo tired of the same old artists playing the same old songs on the radio each and every x-mas. This album gives you an alternative twist to the x-mas music genre. Fifteen artists have written 13 songs (+ two covers) pulling the x-mas spirit in to their own musical universe. Indie-pop, stoner rock, reggae, pop, rock & cabaret. In a few years we are going to moan about these songs as well, they deserve to be instant classics the lot of them. Have a very indie x-mas!
Do yourself a favor and check out this album today. If you plan on ordering a CD you better grab your credit card and order it soon for it to arrive before X-mas.
Both the CD and digital files are available though Musiconline.
