New Low Video - "Santa's Coming Over"

thumbnail icon: New Low Video - "Santa's Coming Over"

It's clearly the season for a lot of Christmas (and other holiday) songs, so brace yourself. Low's "Santa's Coming Over" gets us started on a creepier note -- the track's title and main sentiment sounds more like a warning than most Santa songs, which is reflected by (and refracted onto) the faces of the various cherubic kids and post-kids in this video. The song appears on a 7" of the same name. Lock your chimney.

"Will he see the cookies?" You tell me.

The "Santa's Coming Over" 7" is out via Sub Pop.

This sounds like the Christmas song Sufjan would write when he's finally lost his shit.

Spooky. That's the only word for it.
