Christmas with The Ventures

This is the sound of a California Christmas where the snow is made of soap bubbles and the reindeer are riding longboards. The Ventures take their signature reverb-soaked instrumental formula and apply it to the holiday canon with surprising effectiveness. Every track is anchored by the clean, twangy punch of the Mosrite guitar, replacing familiar vocal melodies with double-picked tremolo and dive-bombing whammy bar flourishes. It is high-energy, rhythmic, and unapologetically fun, stripping away the saccharine sentimentality usually associated with Christmas music.
