The Happy Somethings: Don't Mention It

English twee trio The Happy Somethings are not fans of Christmas songs, but for years they couldn't get away from writing and recording them. They have had enough and by way of musical exorcism they vowed to create just one more - the aptly titled No More Christmas Songs - and close the book with their signature blend of irony and sarcasm.

All that was left to do was rounding up all the seasonal stuff for an album, Don't Mention It, and get it out in the world and out of their system. Some it borderline adjacent to the theme, but they felt belonged to be included. It is a collection for anyone who hates the fluff that is piped ad nauseam through the crap sound systems in stores that makes shopping such a maddening experience in this time of the year.

No More Christmas Songs is a self-released album. Buy it from their website.
