Yes, these guys are exactly who they say they are, and they've brought along the Left-Handed Orchestra for yet another Christmas collection, this time more of a short album than an EP. They're addicted to "Christmas Cards," even if they're missing the one they're really expecting; they go "Sledding" until dawn; they rock out when they find "Santa's Back in Town"; they anticipate winter in the folky "Mountain"; they worry for their pal "Pet Rock Pete" because he might never find a girl; they build a snowman in "6/4," which is also the song's time signature; "Random Things To Do" is pretty much what its title suggests to a bouncy beat; they ask the musical question "Do I Really Have To Wear This Ugly Sweater," an anti-tribute to the ubiquitous Christmas pullover; and they wrap up with "Christmas On the Moon," a ballad in which it sounds like they're literally blasting off for the distant orb. Another off-the-wall collection from the Low Countries; grab it from Bandcamp.
