Comment: Along Came December is a one-man-project launched by the Englishman Glen Jones in 2006 under the nom de plume Hello Stranger. Jones was then sparked by video games and 80s/90s indie rock. Indeed, this set of 4 tracks is an enjoyable journey by listening to a tiny bit austere, post-punk/goth oriented and chiming jangle pop-tinged alternative pop. Yet, this album can not be considered a part of the post-punk revival started off at the beginning of 00s because of being more uncompromising in regard to the contemporary mainstream music. Jones` aesthetics involves faithfully much of the attitude pertaining to the one of the 80`s alternative groups.
