To a quinquagenarian, in age (for me) of musical famine, this album contains complete sonic beauty. This is surprising to me since I'm not an album person and individual tracks fall or stand on their own. The vocals, arrangements and orchestrations have been worked intelligently and sublimely to produce a wonderment.
Hallelujah!

Having read the description of this album before it was due out I knew I had to have it. It arrived last weekend & I've listened to it lots since then.
I wouldn't call it the usual type of Christmas CD full of jingle bells & tales of Santa Claus but it will definitely get you in the mood for Christmas.
The album comprises some Christmas songs & other non-Christmas-y songs but the mood is very much of cold Winter days & spicy mulled wine - I was most disppointed that it wasn't actually snowing when I looked outside & it feels like a hug in a big woolly jumper.
Tom Smith's voice is very deep & works well with the more sombre songs on the album. Andy Burrows' voice is totally different & to me, sounds a little Beatle-esque on some songs. They work beautifully together.
Buy it - you won't be disppointed!

I heard some of the tracks in session on the radio on the way home after the 'last long trip' of the year so maybe I was in a good mood! I was impressed with the sound and the idea enough to buy the CD and on another listen to the tracks I'd already heard and a first listen to the others I am very happy with this.
As one other reviewer mentions, this is a different kind of seasonal CD which has the 'feel' of the season rather than being an outright Christmas CD. There are tracks on it which will be played at other times of the year as well. Lyrically and sonically very good indeed. What's more (or maybe less), at just 35 minutes long, the 10 track set does not outstay its' welcome.
For me, Christmas this year started with the arrival of this CD.

A new musical tradition for Christmas that isn't frayed at the edges

Lovely, mellow album.
Just what one needs in the run-up to Christmas and a wonderful antidote to the same old Christmas Slade and Wizard genre that emerges every December. Read more

Tom Smith is just genius!
When there's no new Editors stuff around, listen to this. Tom Smith's vocals are as amazing as ever and fantastically supported by Andy Burrows. Read more

A different kind of christmas album
This is definitely not a typical kind of christmas album. There's only one 100% christmas song on it - The Christmas Song, a duet with Agnes Obel. Really beautiful. Read more
