A lot of the music on Noisetrade, this year, just hasn't connected with me, for some reason. But this one hit me straight in the heart. It just felt and sounded great. The Hollow Season are an Indie Alt Folk trio from New Jersey. And Sarah Woods and Jesse and Joel Dill make some sweet sweet music together. I don't know how long they've been at it but their debut single, "Wild Flowers", was just released in June and it looks like their first longer form--EP or full album--won't arrive until next year. So it was nice of them to drop this free "Christmas Sessions" EP on us. Of the five songs, one is "Blue Christmas", which you know I hate. And "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas", though sweetly done Uke Pop, is too faithful to the original for my tastes. But the other three tracks have me high as a kite. First of all, Sarah's voice is irresistible. And the arrangements on "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "Wonderful Christmastime" give those songs the slight kick to the left they require. "Winter Song"--a cover of the Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson ballad--is just 4 minutes of gorgeous. Grab The Hollow Season's "Christmas Sessions" free from Noisetrade. | |
