It seems like only a heartbeat has passed since the release of Aidan Moffat & RM Hubbert‘s critically acclaimed album, Here Lies The Body.
The two (perhaps self-confessed Scrooges) have announced the release of long player, Ghost Stories For Christmas. A ten-track record promising an alternative take on the holiday which hints at adaptations of old stories and fairy tales delivered in their own unique way.
The announcement is accompanied by a poignant cover of Yazoo’s ‘Only You‘. The pair are joined by Scottish indie stalwarts Jenny Reeve and Emma Pollock and the result is a hopeful yet heart-wrenching ballad. The starkly beautiful rays of light that shine through thanks to melodic vocal interweavings and the sheer simplicity of the arrangement helps make the sentiment clear.
