Low Christmas |
Various Artists I Made it Out of Clay: A Hanukkah Pop Compilation |
Join Now!
As a special holiday treat for our current and December members of the CD of the Month Club, Radio 1190 is throwing in an extra CD!
Low, a sanguine threepiece from the drowsy shores of Duluth, Minnesota, have put out a special, hard to find CD of Christmas and Christmas related songs. The majority of the new CD is signature Low -- languid, mournful, and sparse. They do, however, make a noticable departure from their trademark style on the album's first track "Just Like Christmas." This catchy, beautiful track has been exceedingly popular with both staff and listeners. Christmas is a combination of original songs and covers such as "Blue Christmas," "Silent Night," and "Little Drummer Boy."
As a bonus, we're also including the new Hanukkah compilation I Made it Out of Clay put together by Little Shirley Beans.

And a child shall lead them. One of the greatest things about this new (and to my best knowledge, first) indie pop Chanukah compilation is it's mastermind, Brooklyn's Little Shirley Beans. Shirley Braha as she is known to her family, is but a mere 16 years old which lends a special air of awe-thenticity to this record. Shirley made her first mark earlier this year by organizing the "Indiepop List" song from the latest Momus album "Stars Forever" and now gives everyone at the intersection of Jew and Indiepop fan reason to rejoice with upbeat songs about our best known holiday. Not that this record is for Jews and Jews alone. There's lots of fun to be had here by all, no matter what your religious affiliation. While some may say that this reviewer is biased (see Track #6), it is without hyperbole that we welcome Little Shirley Beans Records and it's first release "I Made It Out Clay" to the world. Happy Hanukkah to all! by Joshua Bloom |
