Pouffe Have Sorted Your Last Minute Christmas Gift Problem

The New Zealand free pop duo have also just released a broken down Christmas song.

With last minute Christmas shopping well under way we suggest that you avoid hectic shopping malls and violent altercations over parking spaces and do all remaining gift buying online.

One cool (and extremely inexpensive/free) gift suggestion is the new I Am Lost at Home EP from New Zealand's Pouffe. And to get you in the Christmas mood, the free pop duo have thrown together the track "Everything's Coming Up Christmas (But You're Not Here)".

Auckland solo artist Kraus and Matt Plunkett of Oamaru band the Trendees, recorded the track last Christmas Eve, and it kind of sounds like a good old pub singalong if Mark E Smith, Ben Wallers and their mates sat around the front bar of the Criterion and punched out an improvised Christmas carol. If that doesn't get you in the festive mood then you have no chance.

As well as the EP, which lyrically explores the challenges of "being a weirdo in a small town", the two have also just announced a six-show New Zealand North Island tour. Check the dates below and have a listen to the EP below.
