    This isn't a party album, but rather a microcosmic, and downright fascinating take on the complexity of Bazan's frequently examined relationship with religion.

    Not every track works and it's unlikely to replace Vince Guaraldi's A Charlie Brown Christmas in terms of sheer comfort, but it's certainly honest and offers an alternative to the parade of musical schmaltz that arrives like clockwork each season.

    Dark Sacred Night is a non-traditional Christmas album, but one of great import nonetheless. It makes a perfect companion for those of us whose Christmas experience is absent of the typical festivities and jubilation.

    There are tidings aplenty, but little comfort and even less joy. [Feb 2017, p.97]
