mentioned this last year but Tis The Season, so here we go again. If you're a
Blank Check with Griffin & David listener, you know producer Ben Hosley. You are also likely familiar with his various art projects - such as
Slow Xmas, a series that started out as slowed down, sludgy, Christmas songs. With
Slow XMas 5 (the sixth release), things have certainly evolved.
First and foremost, this year's compilation is
available on vinyl. So if you like your Christmas slow
and analog, they got you covered. The lead track is
available digitally, with the full digital album (presumably) dropping in early December. This has all been
covered by Stereogum, so you know it's legit!
I'll withhold my opinion until hearing the full release but it's a fairly safe bet that this will be another quality entry in the
Slow Xmas series. I am absolutely loving this first offering - from the pacing to the saxophone, it's got my number.
