With their distinctive sound we lauded not-too-long ago for their EP Goodie Bag, A Kindie Christmas keeps me in the spirit of the holidays with lyrics about Santa, reindeer and tinsel. But other than the sound of a few sleigh bells and a ho-ho or two, only the lyrics are December-ready.
It's Wintertime starts with a funky guitar line straight out of the 70's, which reminds me of the years when I wore footed PJ's and waited for the sounds of reindeer feet. Christmas Vicuna is a cool Latin-infused number that does not in fact include the words Feliz Navidad.
Sure, the first time I heard The Hipwaders' A Kindie Christmas CD, I thought, This isn't a Christmas CD! and set it aside. But, now that I've been listening to the same traditional holiday tunes over and over again for a month? It's perfect. -Christina
