Does listening to “Last Christmas” cover after “Baby It’s Cold Outside” re-up make you want to stab yourself in the heart with an icicle? Are you the Ebenezer Scrooge of the blogosphere? Look no further than Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys’s Atheist Xmas EP, which will further chill your cold heart this holiday season.

Gruff’s dropping three songs for all you misers out there – you can check out two of them right now. “Slashed Wrists This Christmas” isn’t quite holiday party material, but it’s catchy, rhythmic, and original. “Post-Apocalypse Christmas” takes some musical cues from popular holiday songs, so you can probably slide it in while you’re opening presents if everyone’s distracted enough. For all you Scrooges out there – spike your eggnog, leave this on repeat, and you might get through the holidays.

Listen to “Slashed Wrists This Christmas” here.
