Description:

Christmas Contains A Selection Of Seasonal Songs, Including Four Originals By The Band, Mostly Recorded At Lowâ??s 20o Below Studio In Duluth, MN. â??If You Were Born Todayâ? And â??Blue Christmasâ? Were Released As A 7 Inch Single In 1997 On The English Wurlitzer Jukebox Label, While â??Taking Down The Treeâ? Is Taken From A 1998 Compilation Of Live Recordings Issue By The Dutch VPRO Radio Station. Low Released This Holiday Themed EP On Their Own Chairkicker's Imprint, And In The Process They Achieved The Seemingly Impossible; Recording A Holiday Album Devoid Of False Sentimentality And Crass Commercial Concerns. Not Only Do They Add Their Trademark American Gothic Touch (As In Grant Wood, Not Black Eyeliner And The Children Of The Night) To Classics And Originals Alike, They Manage To Invite Even Secular Listeners To Reflect On What Should Be The True Meaning Of The Holiday; Love, Peace And Compassion For Others. The Heavenly Vocal Harmonies Of Alan Sparhawk And Mimi Parker Are Perfectly Attuned To Both Traditional Carols Like â??Silent Nightâ? And More Contemporary Tunes Such As â??Blue Christmas.â? Now This Is A Recording You Can Pull Out To Pre-Empt Another Dose Of Bing Crosby Or Englebert Humperdink. -

Vinyl LP pressing. The first time vinyl release for this classic Low holiday recording. Low's attention to musical detail combined with the heavenly vocal harmonies of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker are perfectly attuned to both traditional carols like 'Silent Night' and more contemporary tunes such as 'Blue Christmas'. Christmas contains a selection of seasonal songs, including four originals by the band, mostly recorded at Low's 20 Below studio in Duluth, MN.
