about

The Photocopies self-identify as "unapologetically old-school indie pop in a mid-80s-to-early-90s vein, made without secret plans to fill stadiums (ugh). Think lo-fi c86, twee, postpunk janglepop etc". It's no surprise then that they have just released Pop Trivia, a whopping 45-track retrospective on South Africa's super-cool Subjangle label.

Sean Turner, a Londoner based in Michigan, was kind enough to offer up a few Christmas songs, old and new, for our album. In the end, I plumped for "Under Christmas Lights", released in December last year, mainly because its forlorn lyric appeals to a hopeless romantic like me. How can you take issue with an opening verse like this:

'I'm such a loser, sat in the boozer
'Cause you've been gone now all this time
Here I remember the day in December
Last year when you said you'd be mine'.

I hope Santa has left a triple-decker box of Kleenex under the tree for me this year.
