The ethereal/goth label Projekt (www.projekt.com) has put out two Xmas
comps extitled "Excelsis". I have the first, and there is a fair bit of
cheese, but some really nice tracks as well. Lovesliescrushing do a great,
My Bloody Valentine-ish version of "Jingle Bells", and the Love Spirals
Downwards version of "Welcome Christmas" (the Whoville song from "The
Grinch") is lovely.
The holiday-themed mini album by Low that you mention - entitled simply
"Christmas" - has been reissued, just in time to capitalize on the
inclusion of their awesome version of "The Little Drummer Boy" in one of
the current GAP commercials. Also includes the most depressing version of
"Blue Christmas" ever. :)
