Not every Christmas album is filled with sleigh bells and holiday cheer. Originally released in 1999, Christmas finds Minnesota indie-rock trio Low blending slowcore, dream pop, and understated arrangements into one of the most distinctive holiday albums of its era.

Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's haunting vocal harmonies are at the heart of the eight-song collection, which mixes traditional carols like "Silent Night" and "Little Drummer Boy" with remarkable originals including "Just Like Christmas," "If You Were Born Today," and "Long Way Around the Sea." A modern indie Christmas classic.
