This Norwegian singer-songwriter is asserting that he's written "the year's gloomiest Christmas song," and while he may not be correct in absolute terms, this grungy downtempo tune about kids taking comfort in watching television while waiting for a father who won't be arriving for Christmas is probably in the top 10 for 2018 (or the bottom 10, depending on how you choose to count). Some of the folks playing on this single have also worked with Remington Super 60, who have some history on the Christmas beat. Doesn't seem to be up at Amazon just yet, but here it is on Soundcloud.
