about

Snow falls gently from the darkening sky, peppering the ground in glistening white. A dazzling icing-sugar sheen that hides the treacherous frozen surface below.

Ethereal carols drift through the air before being offered no entry by double glazed portals, beyond which the atmosphere grows sour as the main event slowly unfolds with predictable bitterness.

Reet Maff'l arrive, clogged with nog, sneering you a festive greeting as hijacked stereo belches forth their version of good tidings.

Cheer up, 'twill soon be over, as both Christmas and this EP are mercifully short.

Beautiful mysterious lounge bar jazz wanderings juxtaposed with more abstract atmospheres. The vocal closing track is a perfect way to go out - almost feels like a spoiler to mention it, sorry. Michael Upton (Jet Jaguar)
