“Kiss me on the mouth, It’s Christmas Eve”, sings Jon Rooney, helmsman of Seattle’s Virgin of the Birds, in a striking track which goes on to discuss brutalism and a whole lot more that is usually well outside the scope of your traditional seasonal song. The band declare it to be a song about ‘hope, lust and regret set during the holidays with references to midnight mass and a second-hand sighting of American character actor M Emmett Walsh’.
Virgin of the Birds is Jon Rooney, Colin J Nelson, Ken Nottingham and Paul Baudry. Guitar solo by Bart Cameron
