It`s December alright, and everyone is bringing out the Christmas merchandise, but before you go thinking it`s only Walmart cramming crap down your throats, indie rock bands are doing it too.
Last week we reported a series of Christmas decorations featuring the logos of five indie bands, and this week it’s The Boy Least Likely To with a new Christmas single.A note on their website reads: “It’s Christmas and we’re releasing a new single. it wasn’t always the plan. we didn’t set out to write a Christmas song, it just turned out that it couldn’t be anything else, and however much we tried to pretend it was just a song about snow, it would always make us think of Christmas when we listened to it. I guess some songs just are what they are, and there’s nothing you can do about it. if a song wants to be a Christmas song it will be a Christmas song, or any other type of song it wants to be.”
The song will be available to download only in the UK and USA from December 15.
Then after that, in March, the band will release their first full-length album in four years. It will be called ‘The Law Of The Playground’.
