Old Ugly, 2011

An Old Ugly Christmas screwballs the usual seasonal sentiment into an eclectic album of staples and originals. A more diverse mix than its previous Christmas release, the 24-tracks Old Ugly's strung together span from traditional fare (Tyler Butler's "Silent Night (In Edmonton)", Jesse Northey's slowburn building "O Holy Night") to more left-of-field songs inspired by the season—a wacky rockabilly jam in "The Christmas Rock!", the smooth soul bounce of Sugarglider's "All Alone on Christmas" or The Joe's "Boxing Day at WEM" a surreal, murderous narrative. As a whole, it collects the spirit of the season in kaleidoscopic splendour.
