The Gifted Children - Christmas 2011 (2011)
/Indie rock, Psychedelia, Alternative pop/rock, Noise rock, Experimental indie, Conceptual/
Comment: it might be I am being a little bit late with this set of 14 songs because the Christmas time is already over (though, for the members of the Russian Orthodox Church it is up to begin soon after the next week). Indeed, you can not be wrong - indie meets the Christmas songs produced by a prolific US-based indie rock combo who has been active since the mid of 90`s and produced approximately 1300 ditties. However, the miscellany hides within itself a handful of enthralling, poignant gems, however, extending from whimsical electronic developments and suggestive psychedelia to monumental noise rock and even medieval-tinged folk indie. May it be these songs will be widely accepted in 2050, for instance? Or sooner?
