Alternative Surf and 50’s Christmas Songs

The clocks are winding back, the leaves are turning brown and there’s a cold bite to the air. Yep, Christmas is just around the corner. I for one like to enjoy Christmas as far away from home (London) as possible, somewhere were the sun shines brightly and the sea is blue, I’ve seen it on Youtube, now let’s see if it’s true.

To get me into the holiday mood this Christmas I thought I’d compile a alternative surf Christmas songs list. Surfs up!

It’s Gonna be a Surfer’s Christmas -- Morning Glass

Surf Rock Christmas Song -- Ventures

Christmas Time in Bagdad

Captain Santa Clause -- Bobby Helms

Lord’s Prayer -- Beach Boys

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree -- Brenda Lee

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer -- Gene Autry

We Three Kings of Orient Are -- Marvin Gaye & the BeachBoys

A holly Jolly Christmas -- Burl Ives

Our Christmas Wish to You -- Malibooz

It’s Just Not Christmas Without You -- Malibooz

Electrical Lines

New Alternative Releases

Artist: Matteo Scumaci

Album: Electrical Lines

While most indie music today has just become another stagnant genre to fill radio airtime between ad breaks, Electrical Lines both harks back to the glory days of The Smiths and Pulp whilse simultaneously setting the benchmark for all the young pretenders of today and tomorrow.

This is truly an exceptional collection of songs, every one a diamond in the dust. Soaring melodies collide with intimate soundscapes, intelligent lyrics and a beautiful voice add up to only some of the whole audio experience.
To find out it’s the work of only one man, Matteo Scumaci , is rather astonishing.

From the intimacy of “Untitled Sketch” to the majesty of “Hold Your Horses” you hear more with every play as the seem to peel back to reveal more of this amazing talent. We can’t rate this album highly enough.

Undoubtedly the best debut since “Definitely Maybe”.

Rating: 10/10 (Highly recommended)
