Dr. m*f*ing Dog. Years ago, they released one of the best indie rock Christmas releases I’ve heard, Oh My Christmas Tree. I’m a greedy man. I wanted more. I’ve tweeted at them. I’ve wished upon stars. I’ve taken up voodoo and fashioned a small recording studio for the dolls to demo new songs. All that work has obviously paid off, and today we got Oh My Christmas Tree Vol. 2! I’m two listens in, but it is obvious to me what song has my heart – “Ebenezer Scrooge.” The imagery is vivid, the production is loose and warm, and there are just many moments, both lyrically and sonically, that move you. It is a concise and beautifully human retelling of the story – I don’t think I’ve ever been quite in Scrooge’s mind like this. “Ebenezer Scrooge” is just gorgeous.
Bottom Line: “Ebenezer Scrooge” is six minutes that feels like two. This song is that good.
