Los Angeles’ Lolipop Records are ALWAYS a good source for excellent indiepop/rock Christmas singles, having dropped excellent tracks by Jacklen Ro (I can’t believe I missed the cover of “Happy Christmas (The War is Over)” from 2021 – though it is streaming only) and Lost Cat in previous years. This year they are releasing an excellent new track from New Orleans/Los Angeles/Nashville’s (lots of places appear to claim him) Duz Mancini. “Christmas Special” is that kind of laid-back alt.country that pairs well with a cold drink. The lyrics are simple and clever, and the attitude and vibe has me RIYL Dougie Poole… This one is mixworthy, and you may hear it soon enough on mine.
Bottom Line: Wait for the music to really kick in. You’re going to love it. “When the lights turn bluuuueeee……”
