With the holidays swiftly approaching, you may already be hearing festive music while you're out and about, and this year there's a new collection to help celebrate the festival of lights. Hanukkah+ is a compilation of new songs and old classics geared towards the Jewish holiday, and it features an impressive list of contributors.
Jack Black, The Flaming Lips, Loudon Wainwright III, and The Moldy Peaches’ Adam Green all composed original tracks for the project, while HAIM covered Leonard Cohen's "If It Be Your Will" and Watkins Family Hour put their own spin on Woody Guthrie’s “Hanukkah Dance.”
Holy Ghost’s Alex Frankel, Tommy Guerrero, Buzzy Lee, and Craig Wedren also contributed to the project.
Hanukkah+ will be released digitally on November 22 and on vinyl December 13. You can pre-order your copy here and check out the full tracklist below.
