Christmastime by Dr. J
Christmastime is a collection of a handful of festive arrangements ranging from classic carols from the archives that I've dug out to share with you all alongside my more recent takes on music for the Christmas season! The carols were produced between 2015-2016 in bedrooms and on commuter trains (some things never change!) and were initially used as backing tracks for live performances.
The EP kicks things off with a low-slung jazz-lullaby take on The First Noël, followed by my original downtempo, cinematic and huge-sounding composition, Wonders Above, Signs Below. The collection meanders into dubby, folky, euphoric territory with O Little Town of Bethlehem. We then revisit my lyrically minimal, yet instrumentally maximal Immanuel (God With Us), repleat with a fantastic choir made up of friends near and far before coming into land with a grandiose and sparkling rendition of O Holy Night!
Perfect for getting you into the mood for some carol singing or if you just want to set the Christmas mood with something a little cinematic!
