Tanya Donelly and Chris Brokaw are both Boston alt-rock lifers. Donelly leads Belly and had hugely important early stints in Throwing Muses and the Breeders. Brokaw played drums in Codeine and guitar in Come. Next month the two of them will release The Undone Is Done Again, an extremely cool new EP.
The Undone Is Done Again is Donelly and Brokaw's record of medieval and early music, refracted through a very particular lens. These recordings are incredibly spare — just Donelly's voice and Brokaw's guitar, with reverb all over everything. It sounds gorgeous and haunted. We've already posted their version of the Gregorian chant "Novus Annus Aduiit." Now, they've shared their similarly spectral "Sainte Nicholaes." Listen below, and keep this one in mind the next time you're making a playlist of stark, eerie Christmas music.
