Rough Trade Shops has curated a festive album titled “Jangle Bells – A Rough Trade Shops Christmas Selection,” featuring a colorful cast of indie musicians including Girl Ray, black midi, Marika Hackman, The Big Moon, The School, Julia Jacklin, The Linda Lindas, and more. The compilation boasts a mix of old and new original songs, as well as reworked classics, hand-picked and curated with festive cheer.
Leading the curation is Sean Forbes, Rough Trade Shops’ resident Christmas enthusiast and occasional Santa. The album features indie Christmas tracks and covers in an era of digital-only releases on platforms like Spotify and Bandcamp. The festive album also represents London’s guitar scene, Cardiff’s indie pop bests, LA riot grrrl punk rock, and beyond.
