Local music veterans Nathan Junior and Rebecca Rasmussen have gone unabashedly yuletide on our ass, with a brand-new Christmas Album, complete with vintage-style pictures of the couple decked out in red and green. Duover, we’re onto you. The folk Christmas album, once done to death, is just not done these days. Who better to revive this lapsed trend than a band called “Duover?” Well done. The songs are great, and y’all are too cute.
Meanwhile, as this pending snowstorm invokes a wistful holiday spirit, let’s enjoy the following abstractly festive warm-fuzzy. All was calm and bright this summer at Sherman Clay Pianos, where musician Rachel Taylor Brown hosted a choir of angels and their fluttering fingers, capturing the following celestial chorus for her Spring 2011 release, World So Sweet.

aw, thanks, anne/culturphile! that was a memorable evening. and they were indeed celestial. :)
I think that it is amazing that people write entire Christmas Albums. I have difficulty writing on christmas song per year. Which reminds me. I need to get started.
Ben, I agree. It’s all I can do to exhume one choir song and remember the Latin.
I see that this is available for download… will a physical CD-release be available anywhere? Perhaps a local record store, or at gigs?
The group reports that they have hard copies, ready to sell at their show this evening at the Press Club. Beyond that, I’d say contact them via the band-camp link in this article.
