Our Take

The ALBION CHRISTMAS BAND's latest offering, "Magic Touch," is a festive feast for the ears that will leave you feeling like you've just been kissed under the mistletoe by a rosy-cheeked caroler.

From the twinkling sleigh bells to the hearty harmonies, this album is a jolly blend of traditional carols and original compositions that will have you reaching for another mince pie in no time. The band's signature folk-infused sound is as crisp and refreshing as a winter's morning walk through a snowy village.

Tracks like "Deck the Halls" and "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" are given a modern twist with the band's toe-tapping rhythms and lush arrangements. The vocals are rich and velvety, like a cup of mulled wine by the fire.

"Magic Touch" is a delightful mix of old and new, with each track feeling like a warm hug from an old friend. The ALBION CHRISTMAS BAND have truly worked their magic on this album, delivering a festive masterpiece that will have you singing along and dancing around the Christmas tree in no time.

So grab a glass of eggnog, cozy up by the fire, and let the ALBION CHRISTMAS BAND's "Magic Touch" transport you to a winter wonderland of music and merriment. You'll be glad you did. Cheers!
