Claude says:Mando Diao are Swedish garage rockers from Borlänge who broke through in the early 2000s with a retro sound steeped in '60s British Invasion swagger. This 2011 standalone single has a wistful, slightly jaded holiday lilt — less jingle bells, more end-of-the-night reflections at the Christmas party. He gave it one spin in December 2014, likely curious about the band doing seasonal material, but never circled back.
