Feeling Festive? So were we when we decided to commission our very first Christmas album! `A Very Monotreme Christmas' will be available in a slimline card wallet at a budget-conscious price. Limited to 200 copies only. Perfect for stocking-stuffers! We asked some of our favourite songwriters to create their own Christmassy covers or originals. The result is a truly heart-warming collection of songs including covers of age-old classics like `Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' (Jack Watts) and `Peace On Earth / Little Drummer Boy' (The Favourite Bench); more modern classics like The Pretenders' `2000 Miles' (Stumbleine feat Elizabeth Heaton from Midas Fall) and a slow-burning soulful rendition of Mud's `Lonely This Christmas' (Oliver Spalding); as well as some gorgeous originals by Reigns (`Melchior') and Jack Watts (`That's Christmas'), plus a Christmassy makeover of the Etta James classic `At Last' (Elizabeth Heaton). The long-dormant Thee More Shallows have even resurfaced with a rousing rendition of `Santa Baby'! For something fresh, heartfelt and a bit different this year, why not make it `A Very Monotreme Christmas'.
