Last year, we decorated December with The Eight Days of Hometapes. Giving away a new holiday song each day, we ended up with a collection of music that stunned us in its beauty and simplicity. There’s something about songs that you pull out just once a year…music that is so closely attached to feelings, to memories, and even to the weather outside. In these last days of 2010 — as we look at the records we’ve made, as we look at the lines on our faces, as we close our eyes and see a year like none before it — we can’t think of a better idea than to give these songs back to all of you. To light the tree again for a few more days. Introducing: I’ll Be Hometapes For Christmas.  But look closely: there are three shiny new ornaments. Beginning and ending the album are brand new tracks by Ormonde (who are joining the Hometapes family!) and Sunless (a.k.a. Hometapes co-founder Adam Heathcott). Nestled in the middle is Keith Sunset and “the sound of a dreidel, spinning endlessly inside of a dark (yet peaceful) space vortex.” Yes please. DOWNLOAD or STREAM the album HERE. And feel free to share! I’ll Be Hometapes For Christmas: Ormonde “Blue Christmas” Slaraffenland “Little Drummer Boy” Brad Laner “It’s Christmas (But I Don’t Care)” All Tiny Creatures “Kites” Megafaun “I Saw Three Ships” Sara and Adam “Wonderful Christmastime Keith Sunset “Spin Infinite (The Dreidel Song)” Shannon Fields “I’ll Be Home For Christmas (If Only In My Dreams)” Pattern Is Movement “O Holy Night” The Caribbean “Christmastime Is Here” Sunless “Manny Fresh” The new guys: DOWNLOAD: Ormonde “Blue Christmas” DOWNLOAD: Sunless “Manny Fresh” DOWNLOAD: Keith Sunset “Spin Infinite (The Dreidel Song)” _________________________________________ Thank you for being a part of our 2010. We’ve compiled a little bit about all of this year’s releases, including photographs of the actual objects and free songs from each record. We hope you’ll take the monorail tour through our colorful kingdom. Enter here. Happy Holidays, Sara, Adam & The Hometapes Family.
