Kindercore Presents Xmas 4 and ... Hanukkah!, various artists (Kindercore)

The indie alternative label Kindercore has had three previous Christmas collections on CD. For 2008, they kept their hand in with four downloadable tracks. "Wrap It Up" is by The Sad Cobras and the Magic Twig Family; it's a bit of busking with guitar and chimes about "Christmas in my heart." Grape Soda contributes the Hanukkah portion of the title with two songs, "Rock of Ages" and "All Walls Fall," the former sounding like a quick improvisation and the latter being a bit of electronic pop that sounds like a traditional song for that holiday. The Young Sinclairs wrap things up with a shambling cover of Tom Petty's "It's Christmas All Over Again." Check 'em out while they're still free.
