Dec 22, 2022By Mark Redfern
Jim Goodwin of the Christmas Underground blog is back with this year’s indie rock Christmas mix, this year titled Jolly Chubby Elf. Every year for more than a decade Goodwin puts together an annual mix of indie rock Christmas songs, handing out free burned CDs to friends and also posting it online via Mixcloud and Christmas Underground. This year’s mix features some recognizable names, such as Phoebe Bridgers, Hans Pucket, SASAMI, Dr. Dog, and Dent May, but there are also plenty of more obscure artists too (Christmas Aguilera anyone).

Rather than lay down their latest batch of Beach Boys- and Beatles-inspired psych-pop themselves, as they’d done in the past, singer/guitarist Scott McMicken says the group decided to experiment with outside production. “The studio craft side of it has been as much what we’re about as any other thing,” says McMicken. More
Dr. Dog has gotten to the point where its songs sound effortless. It’s not about intricate construction—although there’s nothing sloppy or flawed about any of these songs—but rather a mood. More
In their most rockin’ album to date, Dr. Dog comes down from the clouds to unfurl their breezy pop from the ground.
