Louisa Nicklin Shares Xmas Single 'Unholy Night' + Video

By gosh, she's done it again — Auckland folk songwriter Louisa Nicklin shares a new gorgeous but bloody heartbreaking folk track, singing about the sads and lonelies that often rear their heads at Christmas time. Nicklin wrote and recorded 'Unholy Night' over lockdown, working distantly and digitally with bandmates Eamon Edmundson-Wells and Mason Fairey, before Peter Ruddell came aboard for mixing and Emily Wheatcroft-Snape for mastering.

'Unholy Night' is out now via major streaming services.
