The dream-pop duo returns with an alternative Christmas album of dark and chilling beauty. After producing four critically acclaimed albums, releasing a single on Jack White's label, and touring with Bryan Ferry, Richard Hawley, and Laura Marling, Jessica Davies and Katherine Blamire are back with a 10-track seasonal album. Despite their love/hate relationship with winter, SMOKE FAIRIES embrace the Christmas album tradition with Wild Winter. The album is far from a medley of joyful classics heard once a year as the holidays approach. Sometimes, winter leaves us with a bittersweet and cold feeling. A feeling of loneliness and alienation that SMOKE FAIRIES draws inspiration from. Wild Winter is throbbing, raw, and devoid of any jingle bells.
