It’s hard to believe 2012 is coming to a close. In celebration of what’s been a truly amazing year, but more importantly, in celebration of you and the support you’ve given us over the past 12 months, we are releasing a holiday tune for free just for you! Recorded it in one day here in San Francisco, the song is called Home for Christmas, and you can download it for free on Bandcamp and Google Play. Enjoy, and have a safe and happy holiday!

Speaking of Google Play, The Village has been named one of the best unsigned releases of 2012 by the Google Play team! We are so excited to be included in a collection of so many incredible albums. Click here to check them all out.

Stay tuned for more news about our new album, shows, and more! In the meantime, follow us on Twitter and Facebook for daily tidbits.

Again, thank you all for the immense support and enthusiasm you’ve shown toward our music and what we do. We couldn’t do it without you, and we are so very grateful.
