Every year I present some new Christmas songs in a post, and this year’s no exception. If you’d like to check out the songs from earlier years you can check them out here: 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Have a wonderful Christmas!

First up is ad dios. They have produced Christmas songs every year since a few years back, and now finally they have made a collection of these, together with new ones, on the album “Season of Tranquillity”. Here’s the opening track:
In the Bleak Midwinter

I wrote about Slottet and their new EP “Servants” a couple of weeks ago. Here’s their Christmas contribution:
A Cold Christmas

The Higher Elevations released their Christmas song in 2006, but since I haven’t presented it before, I thought it would fit perfectly in today’s post:
All These Winter Nights

Acid House Kings with their new Christmas single:
(I’m In) A Chorus Line 

Finally a contribution from Skånske Arne & Jonny Spöge who with “Kanske tomten har Facebook” (“Maybe Santa has Facebook”) finish a productive year with this follow-up to their debut singel “Gula lådan“:
Kanske tomten har Facebook

Edit 20/12 2011 – added the new Christmas single from Acid House Kings

Acid House Kings release another song from their latest album “Music Sounds Better With You”. It’s “Under Water”, with lots of summer vibes and with most of the ingredients needed for a classic pop song.
Listen for yourself and download below.

Under Water

I’m going to finish this week with a couple of tracks from Acid House Kings’ latest album “Music Sounds Better With You”. This is pop so light, so light, it feels like running up in the clouds. It’s indie pop with vibes from the sixties with light, lush arrangements.

They have an almost diabolic ability to creat chorus melodies that stick between the hammer and the incus right after listening to them once. And beside these choruses they fill the songs with wellcrafted riffs, instrument lines and oh-oh-choir-melodies. How many melody hooks can a brain take in after listening to an album with ten songs? Well, try it for yourself.

You can listen on Spotify and on Soundcloud you’ll find some more tracks. You can find Acid House Kings on Facebook.
