Where Its At Is Where You Are
Buy: CD | Bandcamp
Christmastime, Approximately is one of the stronger indiepop Christmas compilations of the past few years. This was originally released in 2010 as a free download (500 downloads), and now available as a ₤5 Bandcamp download or as a ₤3.50 CD! I picked up the CD, as I am a sucker for a physical copy.
While every compilation (with very few exceptions) suffers from filler, there are certainly some standouts here worth appreciating. The Social Interaction Foundation (aka Help Stamp Out Lonliness) leads off the CD with a danceable, folktronic version of Low’s classic, “Just Like Christmas,” which is different enough from the original to be interesting. Other standounts are Eux Autres‘s “Teenage Christmas,” The Hillfields‘ folky “Spirit of the Season,” and especially Hexicon‘s “See That Day.”
Bottom Line: The songs are good enough to justify the price. 3.9/5

I love, love, loved (and still love) the Hey Santa track from this collection. The Birthday Girl vs. Alexander’s Festival Hall I think was the artist. I dream about that elf on the cover singing it to me. 🙂
The compilation is still available as free download, there’s a link beneath the buy option (for the physical copy): http://www.wiaiwya.com/downloads/
