Back again for 2024 are our friends Dead Gwynne, whose whole existence appears to be based upon cutting an annual Christmas song that they distribute freely from their website. This year's offering is an angular and aggressive guitar-led semi-rap that's a little less festive sounding but kind of fun for all that. The website offers this and all their previous 32 songs free of charge.

We post these guys every year because they selflessly write and record a new original Christmas song that they make available free for downloading. Their 22nd release is a downtempo folky strum colored with prominent organ backing a talk-sing vocal, featuring a melancholy look at the holiday. When you click on the cover art, you can download any or all of the group's oeuvre.
Keeping up their string of annual releases, these guys give us two free songs in 2016. "Christmas Time" is an upbeat acoustic ditty with bongos, and "Christmas Flow" brings in some fuzzy electric guitar crunch. As always, these guys' complete Christmas discography is freely downloadable from the link.
Our friends at Dead Gwynne have been doing a new Christmas song every single year since 1995 or thereabouts. This year's entry is a bit on the lo-fi side, in fact it kinda sounds like a demo, but it's a nice slice-of-life look at the mundane part of the holiday. And it's free, as are all the band's tunes -- there's 20 of them now.
Dead Gwynne is a band that has a tradition of recording an original song for free distribution at Christmas time every year. This tradition was noted a couple of years ago but we lost track of them until they contacted us this year. They've provided a page with all their songs going back to 1995 for your listening convenience. The 2009 addition to the canon is "Christmas By the Light of the Moon," a pop-rocker about a nighttime holiday celebration. Collect the set and create the band's Christmas album for them.

Another free Christmas song for 2021 by longtime friends of the site, this one is less of the indie-rock homemade sound they've given us before and more of a pop-rock holiday ballad.

As always, go to the site and download it, and feel free to graze previous years' songs while you're there.
