When we posted the 10 Best Indie Christmas Songs we limited our list to yuletide jamz that actually exist. Animal New York took a different tack, imagining what holiday songs would sound like if they were covered by folks like Bon Iver, the xx, Wavves, Beach House, Das Racist, and others. (Adam Horne of Bear Ceuse is responsible for the impressions.) The faux collection is called Merry Indie X-Mas and it’s pretty amusing. Watch a satirical commercial for it and stream the tunes below.
Hope Volume 2 includes Dirty Projectors’ “Little Drummer Boy.”

Joy to the World- Beach House feat. Fever Ray
This put a giant smile on my face even if it was the musical equivalent of one those SNL sketches where the joke is “look at this spot-on impression”.
Your naughty lists consists of my naughty bits is the best Das Racist line they never wrote.
‘high as rudolph’s dick’ – a close second
that bon iver falsetto makes me genuinely sad that santa claus is coming
Oh wow. That Mumford and Sons impression is spot on in that it sounds like every song they’ve ever written.
These are spot on mate, spot on!
This is making my night hahaha
this is too good. love the interpol parody at the .18 mark. spot on!

I’m sad that this Das Racist song doesn’t actually exist.
