I was approached by Brian over at Silber Records to record a version of Jingle Bells for a Christmas release he was working on for December, 2020. I'm not a Christmas person by any means but I dig being supportive of peoples endeavors so I said yes. After digging into "Jingles Bells" I was pretty shocked to learn I knew nothing at all about this song.

A) It was originally called "One Horse Open Sleigh".
B) It wasn't originally a Christmas song.
C) The original melody was WAY cooler than what we have now.
D) It's about dudes racing their sleighs around and picking up chicks. So it's basically the "Jesus Built My Hotrod" of 1857.

Yeah yeah yeah... I know that might be stretching it a bit but I love me some Ministry and I was loving that this supposed Christmas song wasn't what I thought it was. Feeling inspired I did what any good Industrial fan does... grab a shruti box and start recording. After things starting coming into some kind of recognizable form I reached out to a number of friends with skills far greater than I and not too long later we have this version of "One Horse Open Sleigh" to show for it... and I think it's pretty killer. Hope you dig it.

Just a quick demo of the Ekdahl Polygamist doing some stuff you don't hear in other demos. This patch reminded me of the Erhu, a chinese string instrument. All sounds are coming from the Polygamist. Single take, no multi-tracking. Reverb provided by the Ekdhal Moisturizer.
