Xiu Xiu – “Frosty The Snowman”

“No Christmas music until after Halloween,” you say? What if the artist recorded said Christmas music makes everything sound haunted? Here’s Xiu Xiu doing “Frosty The Snowman,” from Cleopatra Records’ new holiday compilation We Wish You A Merry Gothmas.

We Wish You A Merry Gothmas is billed as “a truly one-of-a-kind holiday album for those who prefer their stockings be fishnet and Christmases be black.” The compilation includes over a dozen yuletide tunes interpreted by gothic and industrial acts such as Lebanon Hanover, Kap Bambino, Priest, R. Missing, Skold, David J (of Bauhaus), Die Krupps, and more. You can order the album in full here, and listen to Xiu Xiu’s “Frosty The Snowman” below.
