DAS WANDERLUST - Someone To Pull Crackers With (Don’t Tell Clare/Cherryade)

Christmas singles, can’t be doing with them this early, not ready yet... no no no, get out of here and don’t be putting no tree anywhere near me for at least another three weeks. But this is out this week and this is Das Wanderlust and we do rather like Das Wanderlust, and if anyone is going to do a Christmas single well then... Actually this is really rather surprisingly good and... Well they’re always good, that’s no surprise, but this isn’t weirdly good or left field artful wrong pop Das Wanderlust good, it is still very Das Wanderlust, but this is all nice neat polished glowing red faces, best dress and shinny shoes good. All handsome and Victorian park strolling in the winter sun, mince pies and choral and she’s all singerly good, choral and Victorian-angelic and English and.... Christmas almost sounding good and tinsel and trees and paper hats and Dickens and all is well and tangerines and walnuts and chocolate shillings in stockings and if we’re going to have Christmas singles then this is as good as mulled wine and let’s have it at number one and heard as much as Jona lewie and no falling in the mud and handsome dogs and you know what they say about dogs and their owners and someone stop the cavalry... All very nice and glowing and Christmas time... they’ve almost got me feeling good about it now, damn, get it out of here for at least another three weeks... A delightful cure for all your bah humbugs and grinch grinch grinching, proper Christmas... Das Wanderlust sprinkling some proper olden days Christmas magic in their very own way.
