Emmy The Great & Tim Wheeler - This Is Christmas

Released: 21/11/2011 Infectious
"It all started last Christmas when we got snowed in..." is how Emmy The Great and Tim Wheeler (of Ash) announced their running in the "pulling a festive fast-one" competition. Two things make it stand out from the rest: the pop-punk songs are original and the sexual tension is real. Take that, She & Him.

Drowned In Sound“In the right place I'm sure it would go down well...” The combination of Emmy and Tim's vocals is a consistent issue throughout the record; partly a result of a seeming refusal to harmonise, but mainly because both are blessed with mellifluous tones that offer little variation or texture...

allmusic“A resolutely feel good homage...” A welcome antidote to this year's more conventional cash-ins from Bublé and Bieber, This is Christmas is a joyous and affectionate affair that already feels like an instant festive classic...
