Aidan Moffat & RM Hubbert announce Christmas album with minimalistic take on "Only You"
Aidan Moffat & RM Hubbert give Yazoo's "Only You" a new lease of life on their newly announced Christmas album Ghost Stories for Christmas.
Scotland's Aidan Moffat & RM Hubbert unite once again following the success of their Here Lies the Body record that landed back in May.
Their next venture is a Christmas album, which is announced alongside their heartwarming cover of Yazoo's synth-fuelled sensation, "Only You".
Ghost Stories for Christmas was written after the duo enjoyed creating a one-off seasonal track, which features on the album.
Moffat explains, “Then, on a nice, sunny, summer morning, I phoned Hubby and suggested we just do a whole album. We were really enjoying it – there’s something pleasantly perverse about recording Christmas songs in summer clothes – so we just kept going."
The duo will also take on Mud's "Lonely This Christmas" on their forthcoming 10-track album. “There really wasn’t any other song it could have been,” Hubbert says of the song choice, “It sums up the album well!”
Tracklist:
- Fireside
- A Ghost Story for Christmas
- Desire Path (Baby Please Come Home)
- Such Shall You Be
- Lonely This Christmas
- Weihnachtsstimmung
- The Fir Tree
- Only You
- Ode to Plastic Mistletoe
- The Recurrence of Dickens
