We've been having a discussion over at the Fa Forums about "least favorite Christmas songs". It's always the same bunch. "Christmas Shoes" tops nearly everyone's list, many don't consider "My Favorite Things" to even BE a Christmas song, and some have tired of "Last Christmas" and of Mariah Carey. Me, I've always hated "Blue Christmas". We've covered that here before.
But, dang it all, along comes an Indie Alt Pop Rock outfit from Southern Cali with a fresh arrangement (a little Coldplay, a little Arcade Fire) that seems to be winning me over. The band Max And The Moon was formed in 2009, it appears, and they are building a following the old fashioned way--through relentless gigs. On their recent "The Way I See" EP, they remind me a bit of some of the more intelligent Sunshine Pop of the late 60s--Free Design, that sort of thing.
"Blue Christmas" by Max And The Moon is a free download via Soundcloud and, usually, these Soundcloud freebies are hard capped. So, if you like it, you're going to want to grab it quick. Then go pay a visit to the group's Facebook page. They're very likeable, if you know what I mean (wink, wink, say no more).
