Homemade indie-pop Christmas productions The Chicago indie-rock trio, The Layaways, have extended their three-song 2006 Christmas EP with seven new tracks. The productions retain the same homemade feel, exuding warmth and a dash of holiday melancholy. The album mixes vocal and instrumental tracks, layering folk-rock harmonies on acoustic guitars, and adding some heavier neo-psych sounds. "Auld Lang Syne" channels the mood of the Long Ryders, while the throbbing bass line and subliminal lead guitar of "Silent Night" suggests the end of a long night of egg nog. The backward guitar of "Away in a [...]
With only twelve days left until Christmas, here's one to get you in the the mood to trim that tree if you haven't already. A brand new album of Christmas songs by Chicago band The Layaways called Maybe Next Year . Ten songs,including two originals by the band, it's a smooth blend of indie folk tinged with just a bit shoegazey, psychedelic keyboard flourishes to make it sparkle. Perfect listening to accompany whatever holiday preparations you may be making today. The [...]

Well today is a snow day in my part of Colorado, bringing everything outside to a deadened, frozen, thickly-blanketed crawl. It's gorgeous and quiet, and perfect weather for putting the finishing touches on my annual Christmas mix. I do love Christmas music, as you might remember from past years , but I also have a picky palate and am always amazed when I turn on the radio (as I did last night while we played cards) at how many many Christmas songs should have never been made. If I have to hear "Wonderful Christmastime" again, [...]

As promised, more more or less Christmas songs. We begin with a general holiday song from Sheffield, England's Standard Fare: "Tinsel Politics." The song anticipates the family politics Christmas time brings and the singer asks why it's even on her mind because she's "not even a Christian/and Hanukkah comes early this time and we'll still be in school." Wormburner's 2006 debut, A Hero's Welcome , was produced by David Lowrey (Cracker & Camper Van Beethoven). The band performs their annual holiday show at the Mercury Lounge (NYC) on December 12. Watch for their new album early next year. Lastly, [...]

My last few posts have featured up-jump-and-boogie tracks and it's high time I settle down a bit before I hurt myself. The Chicago trio, The Layaways, a perennial favorite 'round these parts, return after dropping their festive Christmas EP more than two years ago. Their laid-back, '60s era sounds are absolutely delightening. Yes, they're so good that they induce spontaneous neology. On "Keep it to Yourself" they flavor their guitars with just a pinch of fuzz, a dash of reverb, and a sprinkle of backwardness. They turn up the jangle on "All Around the World" and their tag-team vocalists [...]
