The band offers these sentiments about the song, “In a world where the algorithm (and other horrible things) has made us all feel further apart, going home for the holidays isn’t easy for everyone. What is it about these days that makes us feel we have to go home to face the loved ones we simply cannot ever be at peace with? We have no idea, but we do know that sometimes a simple song can get you through at least a few minutes of holiday hell. We hope this one does that for you. We love you all. Merry Christmas.” -xo stars

Their highly acclaimed album, From Capelton Hill which was released in May, brims with dazzling ‘80s and ‘90s Britpop arrangements – rendered with intimacy and warmth. A wealth of horn and string arrangements unfold across the record in true Stars fashion, dreamy and macabre. 

Don’t miss the band on tour in Europe in February with support from Murray A Lightburn (The Dears).

They perform at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds on February 9th.
