It seems to be the week of songs that don’t take themselves too seriously. Case in point: ‘Ma Bells Don’t Jingle’, the debut single from Scottish musical mischief-makers Sanity Clause.
Yet more tongue-in-cheek goodness, the duo’s debut is a poppy and uplifting anti-commercialisation anthem that’s guaranteed to bring a smile to even the grumpiest of grinches. Deeply infectious and filled with heart and colour, ‘Ma Bells Don’t Jingle’ serves as a gentle reminder about what really matters at this time of year.
“Of course, Christmas can be fun, and we like to see people having fun,” says James SD. “But please remember it can also be bittersweet, and spare a thought for folks who might not be feeling so joyous.” Putting their money where their music is, Sanity Clause intends to donate proceeds from their music to their favourite charity this Christmas.
‘Ma Bells Don’t Jingle’ is as bold a debut offering as I can remember. But it’s the kind of track that stands out from the crowd. It’s a statement as much as a song, and it’s going to be mighty interesting following the pair’s next sonic footsteps.
