Already tired of tidings of comfort and joy? Well you're in luck. Alexander Carson has a Christmas playlist full of seasonal misery and melancholy just for you. It will cheer you right up!

He's got gloomy carols, passive aggressive Christmas dinner music and Yuletide dirges from the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Christian Lee Hutson and the Supremes. Plus a bunch of songs that aren't really Christmas songs but sound like they might be.

Alexander Carson is a composer and singer/songwriter from Norwich and the Freak Zone's go to person for all things downbeat and gloomy.
