Kozelek's distinctive, melancholic vocals and delicate guitar work breathe new life into these timeless songs, creating a warm and introspective atmosphere perfect for the holiday season. His slowcore approach brings a sense of quiet reflection and nostalgia, making "Sings Christmas Carols" a standout addition to any holiday music collection.
