SomaFM Christmas Lounge

Christmas music usually makes me run for the hills. But SomaFM's Christmas Lounge is different. It's ambient music with a holiday twist, and honestly, it's when you want seasonal cheer without the jangling nerves. The station pulls from deep catalogues of ambient artists - think Brian Eno's Music for Airports but with sleigh bells faintly in the distance. Or Harold Budd's piano pieces layered over carols. The programming is seamless, no jarring transitions. It's the kind of station you put on while wrapping presents or staring at a snow-covered window. Listen to SomaFM Christmas Lounge live on…
