Dec 30, 2013It’s entirely delightful, and Andy Bell has never sung better, discovering his “inner choirboy” again.
-
MojoDec 18, 2013Tomita-worthy retro electronica that justifies another stab at White Christmas, and rehabilitates lesser-known carols such as Midnight Clear and Sleep Quietly. [Jan 2014, p.97]
-
Dec 6, 2013Snow Globe is just a fantastic bloody record full stop.

-
Dec 2, 2013Ultimately, Snow Globe doesn’t know what it wants to be, an album of covers or a showcase for the band’s return, and it sucks some of the joy out of the holiday favorites while it painstakingly tries to figure it out.
