Fangs and Twang is back to help with all the fun and sweetness of the holidays. "Krampus Baby," the trio's new song, is a fun, new take on the Christmas songs that are always on the radio.
"Krampus Baby" is different from most holiday movies in that it doesn't have many sleigh bells or sentimentality. It has a mix of relaxed confidence and rustic Americana, like a song coming from the mess left over from a holiday party. The guitar, with its twang, fits with the rhythm section, which has its own secrets. The singing is just the right amount of fun.
The song's theme is based on the darker parts of the season, not to scare people, but to enjoy the strange stories about the horned holiday nemesis. It is a subtle, movie-like reference to making bad choices and decisions, and to the fact that there will be consequences. The setting is more like a smoky lounge than a thrilling house.
Even though Krampus Day has come and gone, Fangs and Twang say that the Krampus season is still going on. They might be right, given how catchy and weird this song is. "Krampus Baby" is a song that would be great for alternative Christmas playlists, spooky holiday mixes, novelty collections, and people who want a holiday soundtrack that sounds a little scary. This release proves that Fangs and Twang's December song is more than just peppermint and tinsel, it can also have claws, horns, twang, and a sly smile. The holidays have become weirder and more fun.
