A Polaroid For Christmas 2023, various artists (Memoria Polaroid)

This Italian radio show and blog has been compiling indie-pop Christmas albums for several years now, and they're back again this year with 19 new songs. It's a "name your price" purchase at Bandcamp and the proceeds benefit SOKOS, a volunteer-run health clinic in Bologna, Italy for migrants and the homeless. As you might expect, some of the artists are performing in Italian here, but the Bandcamp page helpfully offers each song's lyrics, which you can drop into Google Translate at your leisure. Emphasize the "pop" in indie-pop, as nearly all these performances, even the uptempo ones, have a sort of mellow vibe to them. Baseball Gregg has a semi-distracted performance on "December First," in which the singer wants to make this record but is battling the sniffles. "Our Long Goodbye" by May Eyes Love is more of a wordless vocal/instrumental, "Santa Claus Goes Erotic" by Tacobellas is an R-rated punker, "Blue-Eyed Boy" by Her Skin has the vocalist wanting a guy who has a different girlfriend at Christmas, "Who Cares If Christmas Comin;" by A Minor Place featuring Cristiano Pizzuti is a meditation on holiday loneliness, "O e Natali tutti I giorni" by Luca Mazzieri is a nice folky strum which I'm pretty sure is about Christmas, "All the Wreaths" by the Ian Fays is a ballad full of ancient pop culture references, and "My Treee" by Plastic Palms is sort of the Velvet Underground on helium, but it's cool for all that. There's more, and you should at least give it a listen.
