Mmm…. seems like we weren’t the only ones loving Sally Shapiro this past summer. For what it is worth Pitchfork is in on the love too. Geez, are they lining Sally Shapiro up to be the next Annie or Lilly Allen? Just kidding… kinda. Either way, I doubt she’s going to be our secret much longer.

Don’t be thrown off by the title, “Anorak Christmas” isn’t exactly a Christmas song in the traditional sense. “Anorak Christmas”, a cover of the song by Swedish artist Nixon, is an icy, irresistible lovely little pop track that will have you wanting to snuggle up with your loved one at the fireplace. Watch it. People are going to be making out to this song. “I Know” is dripping in retro, but like her other tracks it’s really Sally Shapiro’s sweet and almost innocent vocals that make the song. If you thought “By Your Side” was as good as it gets… well you were wrong. Both new tracks surpass “By Your Side.”
