Thought about putting this in the Music That Nobody Knows About Thread because I have never heard this mentioned anywhere on the internet, but this thread ultimately seems to be a better fit.
Xmas Movie Soundtrack (seems to be the name of both the album and the artist) is a bedroom pop project made almost entirely by one guy who I’ve never met but is a friend of a friend of a friend. Tonally, I’d label it somewhere between “solemnly joyous” and “nostalgia-haunted.” Christmas music is usually overproduced, sentimental garbage, but this is one of the exceptions. I put it up there with A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector, Mark Kozelek Sings Christmas Carols, and Sufjan Stevens’ Christmas stuff.
It’s a hidden favorite of mine, but you all have cool taste and I hope some of you like it.
