Christmas

The Futureheads

Sharp, angular guitars and complex four-part harmonies applied to holiday classics. A high-velocity, caffeinated take on the traditional Christmas songbook.

It's the only Christmas album that sounds like it was recorded after three double-espressos and a post-punk revival show.

A high-energy, technically precise celebration that swaps holiday schmaltz for sharp guitars and brilliant vocal interplay.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The interlocking vocal layers on Carol of the Bells that transform the traditional melody into a rhythmic post-punk machine.
The sharp, driving guitar bridge in Stop The Cavalry that replaces the original's brass sections with indie rock urgency.
The surprisingly tender, stripped-back vocal delivery on In The Bleak Midwinter that highlights the band's choral precision.
