The Smoke Fairies have offered their own take on Christmas with a new ten track festive release called Wild Winter. However, they say “the last thing we wanted to do was make a classic, jolly, celebratory album that can only be played once a year.”

And thank goodness for that – it celebrates their own haunting, shivery brand of folk, perfectly capturing the isolation and alienation of the season just as much as the togetherness and good cheer, and achieves that all too rare accolade of being in the cool Christmas category.
