We may have a reputation for being more of scrooges than cheermeisters over here, but that doesn’t change our love for a bangin’ holiday record. We asked our staff what their favorite records to spin this season are — check out what’s keeping their days jolly and bright.
1. In December LP
- Robert Glasper
Picked by Jonny
This was an obvious choice because what could possibly be better than some soul soothing jazz to warm your soul and get ready to spread some holiday cheer?? I don’t know about you but some smooth vocals over warm piano chords feel like a cup of hot cocoa on Christmas morning to me
2. Fruitcake EP
- Sabrina Carpenter
Picked by Ethan
It’s hard for me to say how many Christmas projects that’ve released in my lifetime will end up being classic someday. Fruitcake is a PERFECT way to sum up the current state of pop music, and I guarantee it’ll be a future favorite. It’s a great blend of tongue in cheek humor, but also has its serious more “timeless” songs on it as well.
3. Christmas LP
- Low
Picked by Molly
Only valid holiday record is this 1999 classic.
4. A Swinging Christmas LP
- Ella Fitzgerald
Picked by Daisy
A classic, guaranteed non-fight starter.
5. Elvis’ Christmas Album LP
- Elvis Presley
Picked by Simone
Why? Cus Elvis is the KING, duh.
6. A Charlie Brown Christmas LP
- Vince Guaraldi Trio
Picked by Nico
Visual and auditory induced nostalgia combine to truly take one back to a time when Christmas actually mattered.
7. The Holdovers Soundtrack LP
- Various
Picked by Sam Z.
Fucking slaps!
8. Ultimate Christmas LP
- Frank Sinatra
Picked by Liz
It’s not new, but it’s Frank baby!
