Shining - White X Mas

Review by Bora Gas

The album White X Mas by Shining is a captivating and unique take on the traditional holiday music. The album features a blend of jazz, rock, and experimental soundscapes that create a festive yet eerie atmosphere. The band's use of unconventional instruments, such as the saxophone and trumpet, adds a fresh and unexpected twist to classic holiday tunes like "Silent Night" and "Jingle Bells."

The album's standout tracks include "The Christmas Song," which features haunting vocals over a slow and brooding instrumental, and "O Tannenbaum," which showcases the band's jazz influences with a lively and upbeat performance. The album's title track, "White X Mas," is a particularly impressive composition that builds from a sparse and atmospheric introduction into a thunderous and chaotic climax.
