Scottish indie stars Glasvegas have been talking about their upcoming festive release, and have revealed that they would rather not bag the coveted Christmas number one slot.
Glasvegas are set to release ‘A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like A Kiss)’ on December 1st. A six track mini-album, it contains a seasonal version of ‘Silent Night’ along with some new material from the band.
In a new interview guitarist Rab Allan warned against expectations of a chart hit. “I don’t expect it, I don’t want it. I want X Factor to win. Simon Cowell rules! You should do what I did and put money on everybody else. Then your definitely gonna get money back.”
The mini-album was recorded in Transylvania due to James Allan’s obsession with Dracula. The singer’s brother said “I think his mum used to dress him as Dracula with a black bin bag over his head. I think he was always quite curious to see what Transylvania was like… It was cold and beautiful. They had a McDonalds and KFC on the high street. Parts of it were quite picturesque, all the Hansel and Gretel houses.”
The current odds from Ladbrokes place the X Factor winner at 1/10 to claim to the Christmas number one slot. Glasvegas are not currently listed on the odds sheet.
