Just before Xmas last year I was challenged by a friend of mine to write a Xmas song, something I’d never considered doing before. My stuff is way too miserable to make for a joyous Xmas song I reasoned, but with an AI version of myself helping out with some suitably seasonal lyrics, the result was December Skies. It was swiftly recorded over a weekend with a little help from my buddy Randy McStine on lead guitar and backing vocals, and released online a few days before Xmas 2023. I have to say I’m incredibly pleased with the way it came out, so I’m super happy that it’s going to get its moment again this Xmas, and in physical form too!

December Skies will be released on 6th December in two collector’s edition formats, a gatefold 7″ vinyl package and a CD digifile package, both featuring 3 exclusive Xmas cards, illustrated by Hajo Müller, who also created the new front cover artwork.
