"Proper Job Christmas," John D Revelator (self-issued)

revelator.jpgJust stumbled over this on Bandcamp, an EP called "Snowflake Singles" from 2019, though it's only the song mentioned above of the four that's a holiday tune. All four songs are in the Billy Bragg vein of protest folk, though "Proper Job Christmas" is a bouncy little number about thrifty folks celebrating the holiday. "Proper Job" is the name of a housewares store that, in the artist's description, is sort of a cross between a hardware store and a bodega. As the band is from Glastonbury, UK, you'll find that the concerns of these songs are mostly British politics, but "Proper Job Christmas" travels nicely outside its home country and everyone should check it out.
