Atheist Xmas is an EP of alternative Christmas songs by Gruff
 

 
Atheist Xmas is an EP of alternative Christmas songs by Gruff Rhys ? an unholy trinity of three turkey-free new tracks for the festive season.

 Motown-tinged opener Post Apocalypse Christmas sees Gruff re-imagining the ?Winterval? through the semi-melted eyes of a nuclear holocaust survivor.  Humanist hymn At The End Of The Line deploys lush vocal harmonies, saxophone and also features in the soundtrack for Jesus And Mary Chain bassist Douglas Hart?s semi-autobiographical short film, Long Distance Information.  Mournful piano ballad and curtain closer Slashed Wrists This Christmas addresses the seasonally taboo subjects of manic depression and suicide. 

Atheist Xmas is due out on 19th December.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Occupy Wall Street will soon have a soundtrack.

Participants in the protest movement said Wednesday that they are putting out a benefit album with music from Third Eye Blind, David Crosby and Graham Nash, Jackson Browne, Lucinda Williams, DJ Logic, Ladytron and others.
