about

Holidays are closing in
This time it's different
The city's air is getting thin
Freedom seems distant
When we feel we have no power
No relaxation
You and I escape in our
Imagination

Hand in hand we soar through the skies
Snowflakes in our eyes
Heading for Arctica
Clean white lands in every shape
It's our Christmas escape
Heading for Arctica

Stressed out people everywhere
No time for breathing
No one really seems to care
Hearts without sheathing
Close your eyes and take my hand
Reality's fading
Le's go to our secret land
Where peace is pervading

Hand in hand we soar through the skies
Snowflakes in our eyes
Heading for Arctica
Clean white lands in every shape
It's our Christmas escape
Heading for Arctica

“Christmas Escape” eschews the spirited jingle of Mariah and the arch glamour of Saint Etienne and instead revels in the seasonal psychedelia of Coil." Pitchfork
"Moody...gave me a strong Twin Peaks feeling" Bob Stanley (Saint Etienne)
"‘Christmas Escape’ is as sparkling and delicate as the snowflake depicted on the artwork. It’s a minimal and icy take on their synth/Italo sound and quite lovely." Teases & Dares
"Sally Shapiro has crafted this ultimate atmosphere destined to pull you in, lift you into the midst of this dreamy soundscape. The shimmering notes and ethereal vocal harmonies collide to give this picturesque world where the intimate lyrics build a clear vision for the audience to immerse themselves within." Circuit Sweet
"Christmas Escape is icy, ethereal, spacey and high on atmosphere." Christmas-Agogo
"Haunting" Stereogum

Written by Johan Agebjörn & André Csernak. Vocals by Sally Shapiro. Produced by Johan Agebjörn. Mixed by Johan Agebjörn & Johnny Jewel. Mastered by Mike Bozzi. Artwork by Johnny Jewel. Taken from the album Sad Cities (Italians Do It Better 2022).
