This holiday season, why not treat the curmudgeon in your life to a musical gift so brief they’ll barely have to listen to it at all? Weighing in at under a minute long, ‘O Tannenbaum’ is the very definition of Teutonic efficiency, and a shoo-in for Christmas Number 1!
lyrics
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,
Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!

These guys organised our first ever gig, so they'll be in the gritty, Hollywood movie 'Council Tax Band: Genesis' when it eventually gets the green light. Council Tax Band
The Swiss quartet's strongest release yet. Two tracks of assertive post-punk with primitive garage beats and and spaced-out synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2018
