Switchfoot has delivered its first-ever holiday album, “This Is Our Christmas Album.”
“It’s a season stretched tight with contradictions; celebrating the free gifts of love and grace with an outburst of materialist capitalist consumption,” offered lead singer Jon Foreman. “An emotional roller coaster of family and friends, hopes and scars – bringing out the worst and the best in all of us.”
