I've had a lot of people ask to hear some of the christmas album, and I've also had a lot of people ask about how I did the album art. So, here I am, handing out my virtual chocolate dipped oreos. Enjoy.
This song was the most atmospheric of all the tracks on the CD. Didn't Hum do a great job with the guitar effects and layering the tracks? When we went into the studio to record vocals, the guy helping us listened to it and laughed and said, "woah, it's like Christmas on drugs! Merry christmas, here's a doobie.". I guess it does have that alternate-reality thing going on. I think everybody hears and imagines heaven differently. I think most people hear heaven with jingle bells and a C major chord. I must be strange, because I think I hear a little bit of heaven in this spacey song.




29 good vibes:
I love it. Beautiful. It feels like getting a glimpse of the way somebody individually worships. Very cool.
love it. love christmas. and so so so excited to see you soon:)
beautiful and transcendent. can't wait to hear the rest!
Wow! That is cool Caitlin! I love it! Can't wait for the CD.
love it! now i'm excited to get these cds and so impressed by your homemade album cover. i'll be sure to tell everyone how it was made ;)
this is my favorite thing yet!
It's amazing--and I love the way you did the album cover. It's so creative. kudos.
I put up some of my extremely beginner art on my new blog. (bethanyshoults.blogspot.com)
Loved it!
I know this is going to make me sound like your mother...or maybe your grandmother? But as your room mate I can take some extra liberties. I am seriously just so proud of you! It is so amazing how accomplished you are and how you found what you love and are making a living doing those things. So admirable. And so you. I remember sitting at breakfast just a year ago talking about where you wanted to take your art and your blog and your music and you have done it. You are awesome and I love you. And I can't wait to see you in a few weeks!!!
You are easily the coolest person alive. Just sayin.
Oh my goodness. I am in love. I love your interpretation of the song. The instrumentals remind me very much of explosions in the sky. Your voice is beautiful. Ahh, and the album art? It's sweet! This is definitely going to be on repeat all day long :)
this is SO RAD! love it, hue (:
LOVE love love it! :)
awesome. i can't wait for the rest of the cd!
I always feel a little funny commenting on blogs of people I don't actually know, but I had to let you know that I love you and your husband's version of "Angels we have heard on high." It is so unique and refreshing!
I love it. What a fresh version of "Angels we have heard on high" I can't wait to hear more!
Amazing. So nice to have a different sound but same feeling to the same Christmas songs we hear over and over. Its about time! Sad I missed both of your deals for the CD over the weekend (and yesterday). I love to sing with my husband and hope that we can someday do something similar for ourselves.
Absolutely beautiful -- the album art AND the song! I just placed my order and I'm SO looking forward to hearing the other tracks when it arrives!

Oh so beautiful! I absolutely am in love with this! BUYING! I just found your blog recently and am now addicted. And I couldn't be more excited for a post like this because I adore Christmas. Can't get enough!!! The video was just as awesome as the song! What editing program did you use? So so cool, all the filters, shooting style, and editing. Much love! So inspiring! I am itching to get to work on my plans and projects because of how dedicated you are. <3 Sorry, ramble, ramble, ramble. Can't wait for your next post :D
I'm even more excited for the album now!! So much talent between the two of you!
That was awesome! I loved the video clip. Hue and Hum are so hip. I'm not worthy.
Beautiful, you guys!!!
And yes, I LOVE this way more than the She and Him album! (in ref. to your tweet.):)
Oh my goodness, that is you singing???!!! and with your husband, even better. It's awesome.
Wow, good job both of you! Also, I LOVE the cover. Nice work. Save me an album pretty please :)
This is so beautiful. I think my heaven will be in minor, too. You both are wonderfully talented. Merry Christmas!! kristin
This is SO SO fantastic! You are probably the most talented couple I know. Wow. :) Love it all!
your creativity is the stuff of legend. pure awesomeness! Thanks for sharing.
my husband plays guitar and I started playing this... and he goes "Who is that?!" haha I told him who you guys were and it peaked his interest (hard to do yah know!) He loves ambient and progressive stuff, so this was right up his alley :)
Holy crap, that song was amazing... i feel so peaceful and happy now
