After losing what, from my perspective, was better than two days to computer issues or whatever they were, I'm way behind on everything and got a lot of catching up to do. But the first thing I saw this morning was this lovely Synth Pop version of Greg Lake's "I Believe In Father Christmas" from Curxes. You may or may not recall that we used their 2012 Christmas single "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" on our Christmas In July collection.
To my ears, Curxes was always a little bit sad and a little bit Punk...which makes for an interesting mix (though, to be fair, that could just be me). So "I Believe In Father Christmas", which was always a bit...wistful, now sounds (to me) completely full of a kind of post-apocalyptic regret. Like, hey, remember Christmas before we dropped the bomb? Yeah, I might be in need of some therapy. The good news is that this Curxes Christmas present is name-your-price at Bandcamp.
