Hot on the heels of their debut album “The Lamps Of Terrahead”, mystifying indie four-piece El Dog release “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow” - their own brooding antidote to the glittery kitsch of standard Christmas fair.
The Scottish Alternative, Post-rockers take the famous Sammy Chan track and inject it with the atmospheric splendour they have become known for. So if you’re sick of bands gurning at the camera with sleigh bells in hand, swathed in all the finery of an ironic, tasteless sweater then this song’s for you.
“Working on the basis that if you're going to redo a classic, then do it differently. The result? Entirely devoid of tinsel-twinkle. Not a bad thing either.”

“Somewhere in a parallel universe...the Christmas number one hasn’t been usurped by the annual X Factor winner, but by something closer to home...This year, it’s El Dog’s re-imagining of a seasonal classic.”

“Fusing great guitar licks and a pounding drumbeat into the song that burns slowly to a full scale thumper of a chorus, which most certainly will win most sceptics over...It definitely joins the very short list of covers that actually work and if you like the charm they bring to this then it is worth checking out their fantastic debut long player.”

“With every review I do for this band, the more I become a fan of Glasgow’s EL DOG! I cannot think of any song that still retains that special, warm Christmas feel without actually sounding ‘Christmassy!”
