Indie alt-rock Civil Youth are jumping into the holidays with a cover of the winter classic “Let It Snow.” Drawing upon famous renditions of the song, written in 1945, the trio lace the lyrics with their signature brooding sound:
With all the Christmas covers coming out during the holidays, we wanted to give you something a little bit different. We were heavily influenced by Frank Sinatra on this one, so we took his ‘Let It Snow’ and made it darker. We tried to make it as Civil Youth as possible with spacey guitars and melody that’s more minor and mysterious. We even got dressed up for this! – Civil Youth frontman Michael Kepko
Civil Youth will release their third full-length studio album, “Conversations,” May 19. Find tickets to the album release show May 20 in Philadelphia here.
