Our Take

If Pitchfork Magazine reviewed a Christmas album, it might sound something like this:

In a sea of jingle bells and ho-ho-hos, VARIOUS ARTISTS' "Calm Christmas" is a quiet oasis of serenity in the chaotic holiday season. This compilation brings together a diverse range of artists, from indie darlings to seasoned crooners, all sharing a common goal - to provide a soothing soundtrack for the festive period.

Opening with the angelic vocals of Florence Welch on "Silent Night," the album sets the tone for a peaceful and reflective Christmas experience. Tracks like Sufjan Stevens' haunting rendition of "O Holy Night" and Bon Iver's stripped-back take on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" bring a sense of intimacy and warmth to the proceedings.

The standout moment on "Calm Christmas" comes courtesy of Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst, whose duet on "Christmas Will Break Your Heart" is a bittersweet masterpiece that captures the melancholy side of the holiday season. It's a reminder that not everyone finds joy in the festivities, and that's okay.

Overall, VARIOUS ARTISTS' "Calm Christmas" is a welcome departure from the usual bombastic holiday offerings. It's a reminder to slow down, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the season, and maybe even shed a tear or two. So put on your comfiest Christmas jumper, pour yourself a mug of mulled wine, and let this album be your soundtrack to a truly serene festive season.
