While we’ve been reinforced to enjoy summer due to the scheduling of most schools in this country, there are a good deal of people who don’t enjoy June, July, and August because of the intense heat and the fact that it’s not the holiday season.

If you’ve ever felt alone because you’re an “anti-summer” person, fret no more (except for the part where you hate summer) as Connor Ratliff and Mikey Erg, the guys behind the non-religious holiday album Spirit of Ratliff, have a nice collection of songs that speak to your anathema of summer.

Watch the lyric video for 4th of July: RESURGENCE if you think we’re making all of this up for some reason.

It’s entilted Summer Is Not XMAS, has 7 songs, and can (and should) be downloaded off of Bandcamp right here.

From The Spirit of Ratliff EP, Connor Ratliff and Mikey Erg present a pleasantly out-of-left-field Christmas song with an equally delightfully out-of-left-field music video, No One Wants a Pizza on Xmas Day.

The Spirit of Ratliff and It’s a Holiday Soul Party by Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings should be all the holiday music you need this season.

Connor Ratliff, who you’ve probably seen on The Chris Gethard Show or the great web series I’m Too Fragile For This, teamed up with another TCGS alum, Mikey Erg to make a collection of holiday music that isn’t worn down by religious traditions that come around this time of year, but is still very festive.

So, that project turned into a whole album, well a sort of a novella of an album as there are 8 songs spanning 12 minutes.

Still, The Spirit of Ratliff is pretty great and really hits a sweet spot of endearing and funny without going overboard like so much holiday music does. “No One Wants a Pizza on Christmas Day” is a perfect example of how Ratliff and Erg pull that off.

You can get Spirit of Ratliff off of Bandcamp for $7 and you should know that it’s actually a soundtrack to what will be an upcoming Xmas special with Connor.

Get a taste of that with the music video for XMAS is the BEST.
