Oh Darlings, this is truly gorgeous, truly exciting, heady stuff I bring you this evening! There Will Be Fireworks, (that group that caused such a splash this summer when they entered the field of Scottish bands alongside Frightened Rabbit, The Twilight Sad, and We Were Promised Jetpacks), is working on their sophomore record. They recorded this little number in one day, according to their PR, and if you’ve not hit the play button DO IT NOW. I love it. I love it. I love it. And there’s nothing naughty about it. It’s just a straight up, beautiful Christmas song. Enjoy! Let There Will Be Fireworks fill your ears with their full instrumentation and characteristically Scottish vocal sound and tease you with what their next album might sound like. It’s due out in early 2010! xoxo

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. My favorite new band, and this just made my whole night.
Oh! I’m so glad to do that to you, Mr. Donut tempter
… no, really it’s so rewarding to turn someone on to a band or a song so thank you, darling xoxo
I had bumped into their music a couple of months ago at the recommendation of a friend that knew l liked The Twilight Sad. They’re a perfect blend of post-rock and good old-fashioned guitar-based indie rock that’s right up my alley. This song is tremendous – I didn’t realize they were working on anything new.
I love this band to death. Hoping they’ll come play the 3rd Trampoline birthday party. just brilliant.
