I have been waiting for this one for so long. Captives On The Carousel are probably the favorite Indie Folk group around Stubby's House. The Captives are Sarah Morrey and Ben Eckersley. They make magic together. Even the name they chose for their musical endeavor is full of beauty and wonder. Captives On The Carousel released brilliant Christmas singles in 2011 and 2012. But then they dropped off the holiday radar. This year, they announced that their hiatus from Christmas music would (probably) end. And then they went into the studio and posted "It's coming. It's coming." And here it is...with one day to spare. Music like this is worth waiting for. And, with this, at least this agonizingly long and dreary year is ending on a good note. We get a single side this year--"O Come, O Come, Emmanuel"--but I'll take it. And you can too. It's name your price at Bandcamp, though whatever you'd be willing to pay will, as always, go to charity. This year, whatever they can raise will go to Assist, a charity that supports refugees and asylum seekers. And, as you know, there's a greater need today than at any time since WWII.
