The White Christmas Album, Oh Hush! (self-issued)

It's the second time this very secretive act went to the Christmas well, and this time their misdirection extends to the size of this project -- it's an EP, just three tunes. But they're all originals and they're all winners. "I Have an Ugly Christmas Tree" starts things off uptempo, a pop-rock ode to those evergreen eyesores we occasionally stumble across, or forget to take down until summer, as these folks sing. "Disco Christmas" is a delightfully straightforward dance tune that is as advertised, and the two rockers bracket the mid-tempo ballad "Christmas With You," featuring a female vocal. I guess I have to scratch their disc title off the Mistletunes mix disc backup title list now.
