That Creepy Christmas Feeling

The tree is up, the lights are on, the cat is chasing stray baubles and bringing up strands of tinsel with her hairballs, the kids are over-hyped on sweets and chocolate..Somehow Mr Stevens has captured the magic and the kitch and the kid's-singed-fringe-on-the-Christingle smell of Christmas with this set of EPs (five recorded over six years), and it has become a staple of my Christmas listening..From hymns that I didn't know but somehow felt like I always did (Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing) to "new" songs, thrown together with nothing but a descant recorder, sleighbells, and a dose of irony (Come on! Let’s Boogey to the Elf Dance! - sample lyric "santa claus is coming, hear the banjo strumming").Wonderful.
