Your favorite indie rock Christmas albums/songs?
 

Hey guys, with the holidays right around the corner, I am looking for some good indie/alternative xmas albums/songs.

I have the Bright Eyes, Sufjan Stevens, and the Brushfire Records Christmas albums - all of which I really enjoy. I was wondering if any of you know of some other good ones I can check out. Thanks!

Also any good Christmas indie rock songs would be appreciated too...

Hands down, my favorite indie rock Christmas song is Death Cab For Cutie's: Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)...I listen to it all the time this time of year and kinda sorta wish they would make a Christmas album, but sadly, I just don't think it's in the cards for them. I think Death Cab's version of Little Drummer Boy would be AWESOME!

Ya Sufjan Steven's Christmas album is pretty good. I also really like Belle and Sebastian's live Christmas album.

Is there a Belle and Sebastian Christmas album? Or are you saying you would like for them to do one?

Also, I didn't know DCFC did a cover of that song. I will have to get it.

check out Aimee Mann's Christmas Album "One More Drifter in the Snow." Good stuff.

i just loaded up my old xmas samplers I made - hope you like them :)

julian koster's the singing saw at Christmastime is gold.

^That was awesome. I've liked Pomplamoose since I heard their cover of Single Ladies.

Belle & Sebastian did a whole Peel session dedicated to Christmas songs

Same! I think they're both adorable and very talented.

"Chiron Beta Prime" - Jonathan Coulton


Such a great song.

this is a little off topic but has anyone heard Crass' christmas album? I think its great.

Hands Down for me, Jimmy Eat World "Last Christmas"
just love their cover for that song. a little more upbeat than the original, but Jim Adkin's voice works magic.

Does this count?

^ Not exactly "Christmas", but still the appropriate time of season.

They also have a full Christmas album floating around, though it's relatively hard to find these days.

Also, the Sufjan Stevens Christmas album is awesome.

Bought the single at his gig, it came wrapped in Christmas paper and he wrote everyone a little note and signed it.
