Manchester Orchestra sends out the Mannheim Steamroller vibes, right? At least in the holiday music category. Da ‘Rollz produced the #1 Christmas music album of all time: Mannheim Steamroller Christmas, which just enjoyed its 35th anniversary.

That’s a steep hill to climb, but Atlanta’s Manchester Orchestra gives us a tasteful, accomplished indie folk parry with Christmas Music Vol. 1. Volume 1? There’s multiple volumes?

Indeed, rumor has it you can obtain Vol. 2 of Christmas Music via their Patreon.

Our highlighted track “Keel Timing,” off The Million Masks of God, has nothing to do with the above holiday cheer. The track lays down a funky bass groove that builds into a singable anthem. Squirreled away among the hooks are nooks and crannies perfect for a little emo introspection – then it’s back to blastoff. Shades of American Football, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Cold War Kids.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
