They Say...
Indie pop is stronger than ever in the early 2000s, and the Matinee label is one of the reasons why. Their stable of groups includes some of the best current practitioners of the sound, and their dedication to packaging and image is reminiscent of great labels like Sarah and The Subway Organization. The Matinee Winter Warmer is a ten-track collection of songs about winter and Christmas by the cream of their crop. Many of the songs are taken from previous Matinee releases, but a handful (Pipas' "Boxes," Harper Lee's "Bad Christmas," the Liberty Ship's "Photograph," the Lucksmiths' "The Winter Proper," and Melodie Group's "Jingle Bells") are unique to the disc. A couple of songs (the Pines' "High Street" and Lovejoy's "I Dream of Angels") are quite rare, too, making the disc quite a collector's item. More importantly, this is an excellent listen and features two tracks that will be on indie kids' winter mix CDs every year: the Fairways' achingly beautiful "Winter Song" and the Lucksmiths' beautifully aching "The Winter Proper." Another gem from a label with enough gems to fill up a couple of jewelry boxes.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
