Bartees Strange is in the middle of rolling out his new album Horror, but he’s taking a break from that today to give us a great new holiday single. “Xmas” finds Strange tapping into that Mk.gee/1975 guitar sound and borrowing some melodic phrasing from Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas” in service of pure, uncut seasonal melancholia. “Yeah, it’s Christmas/ And you don’t even want me at all,” he sings on the chorus. “Wonderin’ if you’ll ever call/ Christmas at the end of the world.” It sounds like an alternate-universe ’90s pop song, and it rules.
