Exotic cheer and mischievous smirks

– December 5, 2012Posted in: Downloads, New releases

“A collection of your favorite Christmas songs, merrily reinterpreted with exotic cheer, unexpected instrumentations, and mischievous smirks”. That’s what Tribecastan offer on their Twisted Christmas EP.

In their own words: “On their first single, “God Rest Ye Three Kings,” Tribecastan takes us on a midnight joyride across the desert sands with a figgy pudding of hand drums, sitar, sarod, mandocello, brass and bulbul tarang. This tongue in cheek amalgam of yule tide spirit and holiday chutzpah is a change of pace from the standard seasonal-tunes of old.”

The Twisted Chrismas EP is available on Bandcamp.
