Where Its At Is Where You Are

Come December it’ll have been 24 months since the last “proper” Christmas, there are 24 days in advent, and London based indie record label Where Its At Is Where You Are is now 24 years old, so, what better time could there be for a 24 track album of amazing indie, electronic and power-pop Christmas tunes...

Dolour is the name Seattle songwriter Shane Tutmarc gives himself and the ever-changing band of collaborators he surrounds himself with. Imagine the songs Paul McCartney forgot to write in 1967 recorded in a perfect facsimile of the Raspberries in 1972. Brighton, England, jangle pop band the Popguns were formed in 1988 by vocalist Wendy Pickles, guitarists Simon and Greg Dixon, and bassist Pat Walkington before adding former Wedding Present drummer Shaun Charman. Although they emerged during the Brit-pop explosion of the mid-'90s, Spearmint weren't made for the rock star posturing of bands like Oasis, and fit better with the cardigan-wearing bedroom bands of the C-86 mold. Half Brit-pop and half twee pop. 

The Orchids are a Scottish band that initially achieved success with Sarah Records. Formed in Penilee in Glasgow in 1985, they have since release six albums (with another on the way), and two compilations. Peter Astor has been recording spectacular records since 1983, under his own name as well as The Loft, The Weather Prophets, The Wisdom of Harry and Ellis Island Sound. Jeff Mellin is a musician, songwriter, and co-founder of both Stereorrific Records and Waxfruit Arts Media, Inc., a non-profit interdisciplinary foundation. 

Building Rockets is essentially the work of one man, musician and singer-songwriter Sam Heath from Austin, Texas. On this recording he’s gone full-on Beach Boys-meet-surf guitars. L&amp;M Kingsize is Laura and Mike from firestations – think joyous surges of collective noisemaking and bursts of electronic sound from synths and guitars. The Edible Eyes feature ex-members of The Blanche Hudson Weekend / The Manhattan Love Suicides, and make a glorious lo-fi Suicide sound. The second release from Cecilia Lund is a cover of the under represented Bond theme - Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown?. It’s a must for fans of glacial Swedish poptronica.

Corvair is a Portland, Oregon-based “super duo” comprised of Brian Naubert (Ruston Mire, Tube Top, Pop Sickle, The Service Providers) and Heather Larimer (Eux Autres). What can you say about PARENTHESIS DOT DOT DOT that hasn't already been said? He creates the best pop music however, that much is certain... The BV’s are an indiepop / shoegaze / krautrock band from Falmouth, UK and Augsburg, Germany. Piney Gir (pronounced "gear"), often shortened to Piney, is an American musician and singer, born in Kansas but based in London, England since 1998. She has released seven studio albums. 

The Martial Arts is the project of Paul Kelly (of BMX Bandits / Carla J Easton / The Primary 5 + many more). TMA also assemble as five-piece live ensemble containing members of TeenCanteen, Trembling Bells and Nevada Base. Love, Burns is the solo project of Phil Sutton, of Pale Lights, and Cinema Red and Blue, and once of Comet Gain, Velocette, The Projects, Kicker, and The Soft City. Steve Miles writes, sings and plays the songs of European Sun. Rob Pursey and Amelia Fletcher play, sing and record the songs of European Sun.

Golden Spike formed in London in early 2015 and have since have brought their Americana Indie-Pop tunes to venues across town. The joint project of Helen McCookerybook &amp; Robert Rotifer - Helen (The Chefs, Helen &amp; The Horns) has released 8 solo albums and produced a documentary on She Punks with Gina Birch!! Woodpigeon are an indie collective founded in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is led by and performs the songs of Mark Andrew Hamilton. New Haven, Connecticut’s Jeffrey Greene has Famous Problems – he used to be a member of the much-missed Butterflies Of Love, and often records with his ex-band members. Whoa Melodic (aka Michael Wood) has an extraordinary knack of conjuring a memorable tune, his debut long player is a dazzling and unbelievably catchy indie pop delight. Papernut Cambridge is a London/Kent based project formed by Ian Button - formerly guitarist with Death In Vegas, Thrashing Doves and many others.
