13/24 - It's A Strange Day

Alternative Christmas tunes! Nothing to do with Christmas. But the right vibe, if you ask me.

 

 

Garth Stevenson - Snow        

Not an inkling of snow in Gothenburg this Christmas, but let's pretend, with the help of Garth's muted piano and swirling crystals.

Ryuichi Sakamoto - Aqua

As sentimental as I'll allow, this season.

 

 

Goldfrapp - Utopia   

I've been rediscovering Felt Mountain during the past month, listening to it on the bus from work. A near flawless debut, and its sci fi-fairytale atmosphere somehow mixes well with the holidays too, if one doesn't focus too much on the lyrics.

 

Janet Kay - Silly Games   

No Christmas without some Christmas reggae. Although this one isn't about Christmas, Christmas can be about silly games, right? A favourite game for the whole family: trying to sing along to Janet Key as she hits the chorus. Sounds terrible but it's great fun!

Purelink ft. J - 4k Murmurs

Music for post-Christmas meal food coma.
