I've been trying to avoid reporting on Christmas singles because I've been trying to avoid the fact that it might nearly be Christmas. Not that I don't like Christmas, but I do like to wait until at least November until I start talking about it. But now someone we actually like has announced they're going to have a crack at getting a Christmas number one, I guess it's okay to break that rule.
Anyway, yes, Babyshambles drummer Adam Ficek has revealed that he will release a Christmas single via the medium of his solo project, Roses Kings Castles. He will release 'Horses' as the download on 8 Dec and then on vinyl on 15 Dec. The single will feature sleigh bells.
Ficek says of the single: "It's about the many wintry things I dream about in the months running up to Christmas. Throw in some characters from my past, present and future and you're left with 'Horses', a tale of Jack Frostical proportions".
Just for the invention of the term "Jack Frostical" this single deserves to be Christmas number one. Buy it.
