About the music:

John, a Buddhist, and Simon, a Jew have long been fascinated by Christmas and its bauble-shaped bounty of earworms.

About John Garner & Simon Roth:

Fearless voyagers of England's North-South divide, John keeps his violins, flutes and gadgets in Gateshead and Simon his drums, clarinets, toys and Magic Box in London. The pair met through Manchester's Brighter Sound on a tour accompanying saxophone legend Chris Potter, subsequently forming a duo to explore their shared love of improvisation and surrealism. Their debut LP, ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ, is out on Wormhole World, and offers a taste of their ecstatic language of celebration, disruption and comedy.
