With their new single, "Christmas in the City," Sunday Speedtrap steps right into the tradition with arms open, bringing their unique modern indie-pop/rock sensibilities along for the ride. There's something inherently timeless about Christmas music that instantly transports you to sparkling lights, family gatherings, and the bittersweet feel of cherished memories. "Christmas in the City" plays like a postcard from deep winter. The band frames the song using guitars that glow like frosted windows, rolling drums that pound like footsteps through busy holiday streets, and choruses that rise into the sky with warmth.

What you will find impressive about "Christmas in the City" is its storytelling. "Sunday Speedtrap" draws upon childhood recollections and family stories, containing a tale that is universally felt while being particularly lived. The band finds a way to tap that emotional spectrum with music that's catchy by design. The choruses of those songs swell to the size of a holiday movie's big finish, pushing listeners to feel along. It's the sort of song that works just as well on a holiday playlist for a big family dinner as it does in your speakers during the post-midnight drive on Christmas Eve.

With "Christmas in the City," Sunday Speedtrap has given us a song that captures the chaotic, beautiful heart of what makes the holidays so special. It's a testament to the fact that Christmas is about the memories and connections that make the season sparkle. For those of you making playlists to spur holiday spirit, create a sense of snug winter evenings, or conjure up songs for gathering together, "Christmas in the City" deserves prime placement. Sunday Speedtrap has combined some past with a whole lot of present day energy to produce a track that we'll be hearing around the festive season for years to come.
