Music from the Scottish Indie Underground! A couple months back, we shared with you some of the annual Christmas singles from The Bird And The Monkey, the Experimentalist duo, Sarahjane Swan & Roger Simian (Swan & Simian, get it? The Bird and The Monkey). Just what we needed--more monkey business. What I think I was unaware of is that these annual singles were done for Acacia Radio's annual holiday show, "We Wish You A Metal Christmas and an Indie New Year". Celebrating half a decade of Indie Underground festivities, Sparks From The Mothership has released this collection, "Christmas On Acacia: A BirdMonkey MixTape". It features all of the tracks we featured before from The Bird And The Monkey, plus their "Christmas On Acacia" Theme and a Bird & Monkey holiday ID (which is really cool; oh, so's the theme...a nice little Indie Pop lead-in for your holiday headtape).
In addition to all of the Christmas chaos from The Bird And The Monkey, the mixtape includes two tracks from Dawn of the Replicants, one from The Stark Palace, and a comedic piece from Mr Twonkey, Paul Vickers & The Leg. The highlights are the show pieces from The Bird And The Monkey and their "Come Home (For Christmas)". But ranking right up there are "No Room At The Inn" from Dawn of the Replicants and "Saw What Your Momma Did" by The Stark Palace. And it's all name-your-price at Bandcamp.
