| Skinny Lister - Christmas Calls |
Release Date: Out Now
Is it time? Are we ready? No?
Tough – it’s the first Christmas song of 2017 and it’s an absolute cracker…. pun
entirely intended. Punk-folk-pop upstarts Skinny Lister have gone early but
they’ve also gone incredibly strong with ‘Christmas Calls’ which, if I don’t
know better, I’d say is a scientifically calculated amalgamation of all the
best bits of Christmas songs from down the years. There’s a base that is made
of pure ‘Fairytale of New York’ crumbs on top of which there’s a sprinkling of the
‘In Dulci Jubilo’ vibe before the ‘Last Christmas’ video gets dolloped in generously
and a good splosh of ‘Christmas Time (Don’t Let the Bells End)’ is poured in. There
will be another slew of Christmas songs this year, some novelty and some
serious, but you’ll be hard pushed to find a better festive ditty than this one
this year so I’d get your cash down early if I were you and put it all on black
32…….no, sorry, Skinny Lister.
