Santa Claws is here to showcase their generous rock talent. A band that has been playing for long enough, their live electricity transfers to their recordings as well. It is that intuition, that they will sound exactly the same or better while performing. You can see it all happen in their latest single, Grain of Sand.
The way this song develops is amazing. It is a psychedelic tune for a few measures, and Greg Aubert gives us some of the best with his lyrics. It is an existential, cosmic element, where universes are unravelling within one another. The chords and progressions complement the style extremely well, soothing yet having that highlight in the distortion. You’ll enjoy the way the harmonics come in, especially the chorus becoming a rousing, elevating element for the song. It is like watching the portals open up. Santa Claws are delivering a Christmas gift way too early, and we’re grateful for how it disentangles. There are a lot of aspects that make this song worthy of their classics collection. The bridge is what takes the cake for me, building on the pyramid’s magnificent size.
Their songs like She Turns and Two Kings One Crown have to be heard for their lyrical beauty. Santa Claws can feature this song in the 2011 indie movie, Another Earth. This is the kind of song that would be the climatic, unreal moment that primes us all for the visuals that are to come. Listen to the song here and follow them for more!
