"This Life (This Christmas)," Milton and Jones (Too Many Fireworks)

This single comes to us from a Scottish record label that's now based in Warsaw, Poland, featuring Scotland's Neil Milton and Seattle's Jules Jones, and it's a nicely doomy-sounding midtempo lament about lost love on the holiday. Sound-wise, it features the reverb-heavy approach common to Phil Spector and Jesus and Mary Chain, and it straddles that divide nicely. Flip side, "Love Actually," is about snuggling in and watching the movie of the same name. UPDATE: Provided Amazon link with cover art.
