Christmas Decorations - Oomycota
Wodger 5
Edition of 200 copies.
Letterpressed packaging. Cover painting by Ky Andersen.
Christmas Decorations recorded most of their fourth album Oomycota in the Catskills mountains of upstate New York, and the secluded location nicely parallels the group's understated approach. Releasing albums on their own label, Wodger, they continue to operate outside the fashionable gaze of Brooklyn, where half of the quartet still live, years removed from the spotlight that shone on their kranky debut. This low-key approach has freed the group to develop an increasingly personal approach to composition and sonic palette. Oomycota continues the open-ended structural explorations of 2008's Far Flung Hum, with a heavier emphasis on electronics reminiscent of earlier Christmas Decorations releases.
