Joy Zipper - Christmas Song
If you like Christmas music then you'll love the mp3hugger curated Christmas compilation 'An Indiecater Christmas', you can buy it here!
How about some woozy psychedelia from the contemporary masters of the scene Joy Zipper? The Long Island couple of Vincent Cafiso and Tabitha Tindale have had limited success thusfar which is surprising given their aesthetically pleasing image and the sunshine infused pop that they produce. Their biggest hit to date was the 2003 album ‘American Whip’ that hoisted influences as disparate as Spiritualized, the Beach Boys and My Bloody Valentine into a swirling sea of tranquil noise. ‘Christmas Song’ is a prime example with the softly focused dynamics perfectly tailgating Cafiso’s smooth vocals. It may not exactly have them jingling bells in the aisles but the sentiments are sweet and wholesome. Joy Zipper have been quiet of late but recently posted a homemade video for a new song called ‘The Mind Is Dangerous’ (see link below). Needless to say it is drop dead gorgeous. KD
