THE HORNETS - WINTER SKY / MERRY CHRISTMAS

12/25/2014

The Hornets are a Danish band comprised, according to their brief bio on Soundcloud, of two 14 year olds. Dang. now I really feel old. These instrumental Electronic/Electro Pop tracks caught my ear enough to have me posting their songs here when I was swearing off the Free List for the day. It's not they're especially Christmasy, per se, but they are filled with the optimism of youth. I hope The Hornets revisit the Christmas theme when they turn 60. I think that's gonna be a whole 'nuther sound.

SWING REPUBLIC - MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY

Aarrrrgh! Can't believe my friends at Lie In The Sound found this one and I didn't. Swing Republic is an Electro Swing outfit from Denmark (west of Sweden...hey, that sounds like a great band name...West of Sweden) and, here, they've created a cool sound, re-imagining the Blues classic "Merry Christmas Baby" in their own unique style. And, the best part, they've done so while keeping Charles Brown's vocals. This track is sweet! It's Swing Jazz, it's Bkues, it's Electro Pop Indie, it's everything you'd want it to be. But do not dawdle. Swing Republic's label, Freshly Squeezed, has posted this as a "Limited Edition" Free Download, which probably means the downloads are capped. Use the widget above or head to Soundcloud.
