in the early 2000’s, the christmas holidays were something to look out for, because the portland-based duo The Iditarod made a ‘yuletide’-album every year. in 2000 and 2001, that was a self-released cdr, in 2002 a collaboration with sharron kraus, and in 2003, yuletide was their testament, a 2cd set compiling rare material.
at morc hq, we have a particular soft spot for the cdr that carin wagner and jeffrey alexander made in 2001. it’s a great mix of songs sung by carin, the more experimental stuff by jeffrey, and perfect string arrangements by matt everett and margie wienk (of fern knight).
the track you can here in this post is Winter’s spell, probably the key track on this album.
