A Very Chilly Christmas, Chilly Gonzales (Gentle Threat)

Gonzales is a producer, instrumentalist and DJ who has worked with numerous artists including Daft Punk, on whose major breakout album he performed. For 2020 he's given us an album that is mostly instrumental solo piano versions of classic carols and holiday hits, including minor-key takes on "Silent Night" and "Auld Lang Mynor." This isn't normally what we go for at Mistletunes, so I'll just jump to the three vocal numbers, "The Banister Bough" sung by Feist, "In the Bleak Midwinter" with vocal by Jarvis Cocker, and "Snow Is Falling in Manhattan" featuring both Cocker and Feist. These, like the rest of the album, are fairly low-key, or in the artist's description, "chill." Check it out for yourself if you're interested.
