A musical holiday gift from all of us here at Strange Manor to our wonderful friends and family... The Christmas Album (Vol. 1)!


Nine Tracks of all the holiday cheer you can stomach! Completely recorded, arranged, over-produced, mixed, designed and bickered over at Strange Manor in the lovely Richmond Heights in the Fall of 2006. Featuring members of the Phenomenauts, the Struts, the Soul Captives, Go Jimmy Go, and of course, the Strange Manor household. Click the song titles to the right to download 128kbps mp3 tracks and have a Merry Christmas, for Christ's (or your non-judeo christian alternative's) sake!

Download the whole thing in gloriously tagged 128 kbps mp3 here!
