"I Don't Like Christmas (But I Love the Sound)," The Detox Twins (Snowflake)

We've covered the Snowflakes Christmas Singles Club, centered in the Netherlands, in previous years. They offer three vinyl singles each year with one original and one cover tune on each. In past years, some or all of them were downloadable, but in 2020, you must purchase the actual record, priced at 8 euros, to be offered the download. Complicating matters further is that they only press about 300 copies of each. You can stream them at Bandcamp, though. This tune is by a group I've never heard of before, and they specialize in synth-pop. The original A-side is a lovely bit of mid-tempo ennui covering the title's sentiments, and when you flip it over you get a straight synth-pop treatment of the Slade classic "Merry Xmas Everybody." Cool stuff.
