Carrie Biell makes a Christmas song that feels lived in Snow, Steel, and a Soft Landing

“Take Me Home This Christmas” is a 2025 standalone single, written years earlier and released on Biell’s own label, with Carl Martí Germain sharing songwriting credit

I hear this song as a natural extension of Carrie Biell’s best qualities. The intimate phrasing, the alt-country undercurrent, and the lo-fi psych-washed and harmony-rich warmth of "Take Me Home This Christmas". Seattle singer-songwriter and bassist, the music sits somewhere between understated Americana and indie-rock, with influences from Cowboy Junkies, Sharon Van Etten, Loretta Lynn, Neko Case, and Mazzy Star. "Take Me Home This Christmas" feels closer to a quiet drive home with the headlights on and the radio low. The track’s moderate 86 BPM pace reinforces that sense of restraint, and for me, that is the point. It gives Biell room to make the emotional center of the song feel earned. She sounds interested in the ache of arrival, which is exactly why the song lingers and deserves the replay.
