Before we’ve even seen a Coca-Cola advert on the box, The Shins have streamed a Christmas-themed track online.
Covering Paul McCartney’s 1979 hit ‘Wonderful Christmastime’, the song will appear on the Yuletide compilation Holidays Rule.
The comp will also offerings feature from Andrew Bird, Rufus Wainwright, Eleanor Friedberger and Sharon Van Etten – among others.
Listen to the Shins cut below, or order the release here and save the surprise for December.
