“Something about Christmas” — this was the only guideline Kapitän Platte gave to the bands and artists they approached for this compilation.
The result is a colorful potpourri of post-rock, indie rock, krautrock, and even electro-trash, which is more or less explicitly connected to Christmas.
It features exclusively new material from current Kapitän Platte bands like Halma and Meanwhile Project Ltd, as well as old companions such as The Hirsch Effekt and Palila. Additionally, there are new signals of life from Monophona, Locust Fudge, and Kristofer Aström, along with the very first track on a record by the Zinnschauer / Leoniden side project Zorsch & Kurt.
The entire collection is rounded off by a gem recorded by the three label founders as The Raque Ledz on a lively Christmas Eve in 2011. A tribute to the Bielefeld based band The Von Duesz, whose album Dynamo had just been released that year.
