Marah
A Christmas Kind of Town (Yep Roc)
Leave it to Philly rockers Marah to celebrate a New York Christmas. Loosely presented as an audio play, they blend solid originals like the jolly "New York Is a Christmas Kind of Town" and hopped-up polka "Counting the Days ('Til Christmas)" with an eclectic array of classics that jangle ("Christmas Time's A Comin'"), wobble ("Baby It's Cold Outside"), and doo-wop ("Silver Bells").
