"SANTA UNDER THE STREETLIGHT" : CHRISTMAS FOR THE BROKENHEARTED

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umtRUWRS3hw

Forget the tinsel and forced cheer. PEEL, Norway’s kings of melancholic, cinematic alt-rock, are back with "Santa under the Streetlight", a song that aches like old holiday wounds and shimmers like snow under a dying bulb. This isn’t your grandma’s Christmas carol. It’s for the ones who still hear the laughter from Christmases past, echoing in empty rooms.

Musically, it’s classic pop-rock run through PEEL’s poetic meat grinder: mid-tempo, wistful, and packed with that bittersweet magic only Pim (the band’s shadowy frontman and lyrical architect) can conjure. The verses whisper of loss, the chorus swells like a drunken choir, and the whole thing feels like a hug from a ghost. "It’s about those Christmases that stick to your ribs", Pim admits. "The ones you’d sell your soul to relive".

After a prolific streak of singles "Modern Age Family Business" (a radio darling from the US to France), "Love Phobia", "Tears from the Sun", PEEL prove once again why their fans, the devoted "Peelgrims", treat their discography like scripture. From the cult-loved "Natalie Somewhere" to the soaring "Boy with the Oxygen Mask", PEEL don’t just write songs, they build worlds.

"Santa under the Streetlight" isn’t here to deck the halls. It’s here to soundtrack your 3 AM walk down memory lane, when the streets are quiet and the past feels closer than it should.

A Christmas miracle for misfits. Play it loud, alone, with a whiskey neat.
