A Neon Christmas, Neon Ambiance (7Core)

Neon Ambiance is Ian Yates and Trevor Michael, and for 2020 they give us synth-pop instrumental versions of 10 classic carols. Nicely orchestrated and modern sounding, this album will make a fine soundtrack for your holiday parties and family videos. The press materials indicate the group's concept is "instrumental soundscapes" a la Sigur Ros, Radiohead and Brian Eno, and that's a pretty good description. The only modern-day pop tune is "Little Drummer Boy," all other tunes are favorite antique carols like "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," "Angels From the Realms of Glory," "Joy To the World," "We Three Kings," "In the Bleak Midwinter," "O Come O Come Emmanuel," "Ding Dong Merrily On High," and "O Holy Night."
