I’m not much one for Christmas compilations, or for Christmas songs for that matter, however things may appear from these posts. Most of them I tend to avoid, but this year a number have managed to intrigue me. The 12 Days of Christmas compilation was one. Cherryade’s A Very Cherry Christmas volume 5 was another. And appearing at the last minute, proving that everything does indeed come in threes, Indiecater Records have released An Indiecater Christmas 2009.

The album features the excellent rendition of Baby, It’s Cold Outside by Allo, Darlin’ that we featured last week, as well some lovely songs from The Garlands, Loxsly and a bunch of others I look forward to getting used to. The song below is from Standard Fare, a Sheffield band recently added to the superb lineup of London Popfest 2010. The bill is now rounding out with Ballboy, The Just Joans, Horowitz as well as the aforementioned Allo, Darlin’ all being announced in the past week. It’s the perfect four days of indiepop joy to bridge the gap until next year’s Indietracks.
