The eagerly-awaited Christmas charity single by Birmingham's indie-pop saviours Trevor Sensitive and The Locals. It might not be as relaxing as 4'33" but it's still for a good cause!
halfway through last december's when I sent out an email saying "i'm not sending christmas cards this year"
i'm no eco-warrior, it's just that i'm lazy, and there's no post office for miles around here
i say that i'll give all the money i'd have spent to the RSPCA, and save a tree or two into the bargain from being binned or burned on new year's day
but the truth is:
i never make the call or hand over the cash to the RSPCA
i'm not a bad person really, it's just that i'm lazy, so i'm writing christmas cards today

All profits from this single will go to Water Aid. These tracks were first broadcast on Brumcast.

The name of this album perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Elizabeth's musical output from the Darlings to Allo Darlin' to these precious songs: an unyielding optimism that is never naive, and by being so, becomes wildly contagious. Some music tells you that "everything will be ok", but her music actually makes you believe it, even when the lyrics hint at doubt. Michael Feck
