Like The Jigsaw Seen and The Fleshtones before them, The Grip Weeds are a longstanding American retro-rock band inexplicably driven to release a Christmas album.
The Weeds can pastiche late sixties/early seventies psychedelic pop perfectly, and alongside four acid-flavoured baubles they nail the nasal buzz of Jethro Tull’s modal hymnal A Christmas Song, slop out an accurately overblown rendition of the sprout flavoured flatulence that is Greg Lake’s I Believe In Father Christmas, and jangle folk-rock style through a rather lovely reading of The Pretenders’ 2000 Miles. Your Mojo reading uncle’s perfect present, sorted.
