Smell & Quim – The Christmas Album

Bruitiste

There's "The Christmas Album" compilation on Sony Japan from 1996, which has a Merzbow track to close out, and some noise-adjacent contributors such as Melt-Banana.  A fun one with irreverent takes on Xmas tunes.

Not a whole album but here's a Cementimental xmas song, recorded live at one of my first ever gigs when Cementimental was more of a 'band' (ie whichever friends I could rope in on the spur of the moment) doing circuitbending / tomfoolery rather than solo Harsh Noise :)

EDIT: Heres a whole Isn'tses album we recorded outside in a labyrinth in the rain on Christmas day and spookily foreshadowed the death of David bowie not long after:

There's the Let It Snow 2CD compilation which has dozens of experimental bands doing xmas songs. Some semi recognized acts (Cruelty Campaign, Pedestrian Deposit, Azoikum) but mostly unknown names - for me at least.

FFH, Chefkirk,NxFxTxex, Seplophobia,Pulse Emitter, Agit8,Hivemind, Foutredieu!!!, Neuntoter Der Plague, and most of all - BALDE, maybe the best noise xmas.

QuoteDad lost the Christmas money on the horses. Came home with empty pockets. Him and Mam concocted a robbery story and pitched it at relatives. Got the sympathy quid. We ate pork pies and turkey like regular people but we knew who we were.

oh and my shortlived kind of noisecoreesque death-lounge / free-improv xmas band Christmas Gimp:

We ended up playing a couple of gigs, at one of them some guys were really angry and demanded to be reassured we could actually play scales if we wanted to and were doing it this badly on purpose.
