AFoR Advent: The Sky Drops
Just when you think your selection of festive songs is taking shape, you get hold a song that throws everything sideways. Of all the bands I would expect to put out a Christmas song, The Sky Drops were not amongst them. You wouldn’t expect a band with a shoegaze kind of sound to be able to pull off something both true to their sound while also fitting the time of year. Christmas Feels Like Halloween comes across with the same kind of sound that the Low Christmas album achieved, and look at how (rightly) beloved that record is these days. Somehow, the The Sky Drops have managed to create a song that remains utterly true to their sound (dreamy vocals and all) while still managing to fit the time of year. Certainly an impressive achievement.
