Weird-Pop you say? Densely layered and harmony-filled you cry? Hark! A Mackem Christmas single from Amateur Ornithologist the herald angels sing. Glory to Daniel Clifford, and his band of merry multi-intrumentalists, for bringing us this modern day madrigal -purpose built to underscore an evening by the fire, filled with a seasonably appropriate amount of cheese. Winter Sun is packed with omnipresent sleighbells, folksy fanfares, nostalgic textures and a tale of boyhood adventures past. Ever wished The Snowman was set in South Tyneside, but without the Aled Jones falsetto? This lot have got you covered here, AO have nothing left to prove and continue to go from strength to strength.
