It’s December, which round these parts means it’s time once again for The Joyzine Advent Calendar! This year we’re celebrating our 20th edition, so we’ve scoured the archives to mix in some calendar classics along with a few fresh festive cuts from our favourite artists.
As always every track on the calendar will be absolutely free to download, and we don’t force you to sign up for our mailing list (though you can if you want, here) or hand over all of your personal data. The calendar is our Christmas gift to the world (or at least the part of it that enjoys seasonal songs by obscure indie musicians), but if you’re also in the giving mood we’d love you to make a donation to our chosen cause, the excellent anti-racism charity HOPE not hate, which you can do here.
On with the free festive tunes!
It’s another Flashback Thursday on The Joyzine Advent Calendar, featuring another of our favourite tunes of calendars past. Today’s tune comes from Who’s The Daddy Now?, aka Jim Bob and Fruitbat of Carter USM and Prof Bootle of THE IINVIISIIBLES and their grimly hilarious Yuletide tale ‘A Daddy Christmas Eve’, taken from their 2014 Daddy Christmas EP, where it featured alongside another pair of festive crackers – you can download the track below and buy the full EP via Bandcamp.
