SATAN’S PILGRIMS
Feliz Navidad b/w Greensleeves
Hidden Volume 2019
Satans Pilgrims website
Usually more associated with the October 31 holiday, Satan’s Pilgrims put together this very nicely wrapped Christmas present for you on marbled white and blue vinyl, in a deluxe package designed by Scott Sugiuchi.
These two old chestnuts are roasted with new, yet classic, Pilgrim’s arrangements. Jose Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad” is given a cha-cha rhythm, as the intro and bridge recall 96 Tears. The Vox Continental wheezes with cheer as these guys twist their way through this three chord workout. No translation needed- it’s instrumental! Greensleeves rocks hard and steady, far removed from The Ventures “Snowflakes” version. The ages old melody wistfully recalling and hoping for better times.
The single comes in an excellent package with great design and a cutout ornament and bonus sticker. Soundwise, this is another robust, full bodied production coming out of Evan Foster’s No Count Studios.
