THIS ALBUM IS NOT MINE!! I WILL BE RELEASING A CHRISTMAS ALBUM OF MY OWN SOON BUT FOR NOW, HERE IS SOME JAMES LEYLAND KIRBY PIG MAGIC TO HELP GET YOU THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS!! What is this album? This album is a Christmas-themed plunderphonics project from V/Vm, A.K.A. James Leyland Kirby, who you may know by his alias The Caretaker, creator of Everywhere at the End of Time. Unlike The Caretaker, which was more retrospective and somber, the earlier V/Vm moniker is more humorous and crass, "butchering" popular songs at the time to create a nauseous audio mess. Pretty cool! This particular album messed up popular Christmas songs and carols to create a desolate, uneasy feeling in the listener. I love the effect James applies to these songs. It really is interesting how pitch shifting a song can change its context and mood entirely. What is V/Vm Test Records? V/Vm Test Records is a now-retired record label by James that specializes in the best of the worst of the worst of the best. In other words, it's a group of like-minded individuals similar to James (some of them being James himself under different aliases) who similarly create intentionally outsider music. More well known artists who collaborated with this label include Kid606 and Boards of Canada.
