The Bird and The Bee are free on iTunes

Head over to iTunes for the Single of the Week which just happens to be from the fabulous The Bird and The Bee. Most Christmas songs don't benefit from the cold sterilization of layered vocals and minimalistic instrumentation that electro-pop can sometimes bring but their reinterpretation of Carol of the Bells works surprisingly well here. It helps when the song is already a choir favorite that comes close to sounding like electro-pop in its traditional form. It's not going to become a holiday favorite but it's a "cool" take on a classic.

While you're there check out their new Please Clap Your Hands EP. It's a small cache of brand new material and one cover that serves as an appetizer for the the full coarse album soon to be released. By the by, that cover (a personal favorite of mine) is the Bee Gees' How Deep Is Your Love. That song alone is worth the price of admission.
