It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and Indie-pop Austinites The Eastern Sea (@theeasternsea) have had quite the eventful year to celebrate. Between the release of their debut album, Plague, and a subsequent tour, they’ve found time to record another release just before the holidays. Yes, we all know that most holiday music can be a bit obnoxious, but that’s not at all the case with First Christmas. Whether each track is a well-established holiday classic or an original, they’ve put their signature on every song with folky, finger-picked guitars, dominant percussion parts, and Hines’ distinctive vocals backed with glowing harmonies.

The upbeat track “Walking In The Air” is one of our favourites from First Christmas, and you can download it here until the release of the cheery album on November 27th.
