♪♫ Viv Albertine - It's A Christmas, Single

Viv Albertine releases her annual alternative Christmas single!
Even with this tongue-in-cheek, themed release, Viv is able to make people stop and think. She weaves comments on society, conventional wisdom and her own personal life with humorous musings on Christmas.
Viv wrote the lyrics on the tour bus whilst touring with The Damned this November. As soon as she arrived back in London she was off into the recording studio with no-wave duo 'Talk Normal' - who she met through Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) as they were both on his Ecstatic Peace record label and had each played on the Ecstatic Peace stage at SXSW Festival.
Viv and Talk Normal were recording Viv's crowd favourite track "Confessions of a MILF" for Viv's forthcoming debut album scheduled for release Spring 2012 and ended the session with this irreverent anti-Christmas ode to single life.
Viv says: "The single was made quick and rough, just how I like my music... and my men."
Merry Christmas!
