Today marks the first day of December, so the holiday season is officially in full swing. Amazon Music has wrangled up another handful of artists to put together another Indie for the Holidays compilation to get you in the mood for month of festivities. The compilation is filled with off-beat original songs and rearrangements of Christmas classics by some of your favorite indie artists. While the full compilation isn’t up on Amazon just yet, they’ve already premiered two tracks on SoundCloud to warm you up.
The first track is by indie rock veterans Melvins with a demented cover of “Carol of the Bells.” Listen to the track below.
UK band Los Campesinos deliver their diehard twee sound for an original Christmas jingle, “When Christmas Comes.” Listen to the track below.
Indie for the Holidays is available starting tomorrow, December 2, via Amazon Music Unlimited and Amazon Prime.
