Downtown Patriots, the Woodbridge-based outfit led by the ever-versatile Danny Watts, take a charming detour from their signature grunge-infused guitar style with their newest single ‘Angels In The Snow’. This track marks a delightful shift into folk-inspired territory, drawing clear influences from timeless holiday classics while retaining the band’s distinctive storytelling.
‘Angels In The Snow’ weaves a heartwarming narrative about an older couple reflecting on their enduring love, brought to life against the backdrop of a snowy Christmas. The song captures the warmth of shared memories and the beauty of simple joys, like creating snow angels together. With its acoustic guitar melodies, banjo flourishes, and a soaring string section, the track has a distinctively festive charm that feels both timeless and refreshing.
Crafted entirely by Watts and mixed by Robert Sellen at Decoy Studio, the production radiates intimacy and care. The lush instrumentation and tender vocal delivery make for a track that invites listeners to embrace the season’s spirit of nostalgia and love.
Departing from their typical alt-rock leanings, Downtown Patriots showcase their versatility here, embracing a more acoustic, folk-driven sound. The result is a track that feels like an instant holiday favourite, blending heartfelt storytelling with an irresistible musical warmth. ‘Angels In The Snow’ is poised to become a seasonal classic, proving that Downtown Patriots continue to evolve while staying true to the emotional core that defines their music.
