Sick already of wall-to-wall Wham! and Mariah? Then keep scrolling for a sackful of brilliant, brand new, sleigh-bell-free tunes. The only sop to seasonal festivities on this playlist is a first-ever Christmas single by The Coral – but even that’s a “cursed carol” about death.
Sick already of wall-to-wall Wham! and Mariah? Then keep scrolling for a sackful of brilliant, brand new, sleigh-bell-free tunes. The only sop to seasonal festivities on this playlist is a first-ever Christmas single by The Coral – but even that’s a “cursed carol” about death.
Instead, we’ve got powerful newies by The Delines, Hen Ogledd and Lucinda Williams (with Norah Jones); a rousing, jazzy plea from Flea featuring Anna Butterss and Jeff Parker; an introduction to the stark, stunning songwriting of Ellie O’Neill and Elanor Moss; Pulp covering Johnny Cash; and an unexpectedly balmy treat from the Aphex Twin himself, Richard D James…
