Here's the press release for our up-coming single '(This Christmas) Bury Me In Hawaii'....

The Brute Chorus

(This Christmas) Bury Me In Hawaii

The Brute Chorus are releasing their first Christmas single on Christmas Eve. The song was recorded at The Strong Room close to the Brute’s East London home two days after returning from their album tour.

As usual this song comes with a twist. Firstly, in a departure from the rammalamma sound of their live debut album, this is a beautiful, hushed affair recorded mainly on acoustic instruments and secondly, with the un-Christmas nature of the lyrics: On the last day of Christmas, as carol singers sing Noel Noel outside in the snow, having smoked his last three Superking cigarettes a man decides to hang himself, asking that he be buried in Hawaii. The band describe it as a Hawaiian Death Carol and the lyrics blend Christmas carols and Hawaiian imagery to an unusual blend of Hawaiian drums, surf guitar and plaintive melodica, not to ention a double bass, ukelele and, of course, right at the end… sleigh bells.

‘I’ll be thinking of the girls of Waikiki
As my stockings kick at the air
Noel, noel, you can sing me to hell…
… it’s Hallelujah, Aloha for me’

This single acts also as a bridging gap between The Brute Chorus’ debut album released in October  and the release of new material from the band in early 2010.
