SoftLightes - The Last Christmas on Earth

Considering that I've already compared the SoftLightes' sound to Christmas music, It's difficult to imagine what an actual holiday song by Modular's resident Californian indie popsters could possibly sound like. Their regular music makes me want to cut out paper snowflakes and decorate cookies with gooey frosting.

SoftLightes bring just a little more to the table this time around with their environmentally conscious holiday single 'The Last Christmas on Earth'. One can grasp from the title alone that this is perhaps not your ordinary 'sleigh ride' or 'winter wonderland' type holiday ditty. Despite the serious topic at hand, SoftLightes manage to pull off a heart warming and cheerful sounding holiday jam, complete with Ron Fountenberry's sugary sweet vocals and a diverse musical arrangement that includes strings and bells. No Christmas classic is complete without bells. Let's also not forget the chants throughout the song, commanding us to dance. What more could you possibly want in a holiday song?

'The Last Christmas' is available for digital download only, starting December 11th. Stream the song here to have a listen, and then download the song from iTunes or another digital retailer if you are able to! All proceeds go to the Sydney based eco-charity Earth Hour.
