The track is taken from the band’s new Christmas EP, which will be released Dec. 8 and features a new, original song “Same Time Next Year?”, along with a stripped-back version of “Blue Christmas.”
“Ever since we were kids ‘Fairytale of New York’ has always been our favourite Christmas song. Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl trading insults in the lyrics and the overall sad tone of the song always appealed to us—we’ve wanted to cover it for some time,” Will Gould explains.
“Alongside this we covered ‘Blue Christmas’ and our own original Christmas song, too. The three songs form something of a miserable Christmas EP. We are really pleased by how it all came out and hope our fans will be, too.”
