It’s not only the annual season for gifts and gingerbread but also the time of (mostly horrible) Christmas songs. Thank god there are always nice exceptions. The latest one is a wonderful musical joint venture by two great acts of American indie-rock. BAND OF HORSES teamed up with GRANDADDY frontman JASON LYTLE for their very own holiday track called Hang An Ornament. The result is an epic piece of spaced out, string-drenched country rock, it seems.
The collaboration itself is no surprise since BAND OF HORSES are currently recording the follow-up record to 2012’s Mirage Rock with LYTLE as a producer. Expect a release next year. But for now feel the spirit of the season as you stream Hang An Ornament below and download it via iTunes right here.
