A Polaroid For Christmas 2022, various artists (Polaroid)

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

polaroid2022.jpgThis is the fourth annual indie-pop hoiday compilation release by Italian radio show/music blog Polaroid, released with a name-your-own-price-tag via Bandcamp, and with proceeds benefiting the SOKOS volunteer-run health clinic in Bologna, Italy. This year we have a title song, "A Polaroid For Christmas" by A Minor Place, a strummy bit of chamber pop-rock; "You Made Me Remember My Dream" by Baseball Gregg, a power-pop ode to dreaming originally by Marlene Belissimo; "Shining Light" by Waving Blue, a moody guitar ballad; "Bolle" by Setti, a folky strum in Italian; the quick punky rocker "Christ Almighty" by The Photocopies; Domino's "Herr Wade," a German pop number with banjo; "Lontano da qui"  by Deine Mutti, a dreamy guitar-pop number in Italian; "As the Days Change" by Grand Drifter, an English-language pop shuffle by an Italian band; "When We Are Together" by Prim, covering The 1975 in a solo guitar-vocal rendition; "Spend Christmas With Me" by My Lo-Fi Heart, a stately bit of synth-pop; and DJ Minacola's "Jingle Bells," an extremely slow playing of the melody on a single synthesizer, which is not how you expect to hear this particular song. This is very, very indie-sounding, but I think folks will find plenty to like here. UPDATE: Stubby writes in to note that there are four volumes on Bandcamp, but  Polaroid has been doing these comps since 2007.
