Comment: it is undoubtedly a nice tradition of the Japanese label Totokoko to provide the Christmas compilation at the beginning of December annually. This batch of 16 tracks used to extend from dusty keyboard passages and chiming guitar layers to picturesque dream pop/shoegazing/cowbell indie and glockenspiel-heavy folk progressions and fluent or thoughful piano-centered and more electronica-tinged ditties. There are up such artists as He Died While Hunting, American Green, Michikusa, Mitsuyoshi Matsuda, Zmi, Dot Tape Dot, Netherland Dwarf, Kaziko Uchida, Masato Abe, M.e, Popolo, Shingo Makino, Asa, Sonicbrat, Conte. The Christmas season will have been on a full swing.
