Two Chalfonts – “Merry Christmas Will Do”

I’m all for a maudlin, introspective, Christmas tune but sometimes it’s nice to get an infusion of upbeat pop-rock for the holiday season. Enter Two Chalfonts cover of Material Issue’s “Merry Christmas Will Do” – a seemingly happy song cut with melancholy lyrics if you’re paying attention. 

Two Chalfonts is John from The Lee’s of Memory and Andy from *repeat repeat. Thus far they’ve released two covers and I secretly hope that’s their masterplan for the entirety of the band.
