Candy Claws – Christmas Love
It’s the best day of the year no contest, no other time can inspire such a wholesome feeling of elation than the day before Christmas. In lots of ways it is better than the day it precedes, the expectation is ripe and no matter the weather sodden hands are extended to friends and not so friendlies. Usually by now I am in a higher state of intoxication but this year due to the arrival of our own pair of tiny hands the drinks will be more formulaic (!) in nature. And what better way to greet this magic day than to grace it with a tune from those celestial oceanic’s Candy Claws. Here is a twinkle they dreamed up last Christmas that manages to sound just as good a year on. It is a short burst of luminous noise, a peephole into the rich pickings to be found on their debut album, which we released earlier in the year on indiecater. Ok, must run, the mistletoe has been hoisted by Mrs Hugger so it’s time for me to purse. Have a great one and see you in a few days when once comfy undergarments will have reached breaking point. P.S. If you are sick of Bing at this stage check this out! Nollaig Shona. KD
