Description
10th Anniversary re-issue of Smoke Fairies’ seasonally themed masterpiece “Wild Winter” on Limited Edition ‘Snowglobe Blizzard’ vinyl and CD. Ten seasonal tracks from Smoke Fairies including Christmas Without A Kiss, 3 Kings and Handsome Family cover So Much Wine and their version of Captain Beefheart’s Steal Softly Thru Snow. Smoke Fairies (Katherine Blamire and Jessica Davies) explained: "We have a love / hate relationship with winter and the Christmas holiday.
When it was suggested Smoke Fairies make a Christmas album the last thing we wanted to do was make a classic, jolly, celebratory album that can only be played once a year. Sometimes winter provides us with a sense of togetherness and love and sometimes it leaves us feeling alienated, cold and playing a glockenspiel alone in a darkened room. It's part of the year that will always be bittersweet and wild. This was the inspiration behind the record. We got together with our band, played around with the songs a few times then headed off to the studio to record them all live. It's buzzy and raw and not one tinkling of sleigh bells can be heard.
"The result is a record that very much is its own world. Where chaos is carefully organized, where being able to ever actually chill out is totally illusory, a trick mirror.
