Background

The album is the soundtrack to a live concert video recorded in October 2020 at Glasgow venue Òran Mór, which was shown as a paid stream on 5 December 2020, and was only available for viewing on that day.[2] It features eleven tracks taken from all five of the band's studio albums, along with a cover of The Cure's "M".[3] On 25 December, in a Twitter post wishing a Merry Christmas, the band said that they "also hear that sometimes the best presents arrive on the 26th". The following day, they announced that the concert video would be available to purchase again for three days (free to previous ticket holders), and also that the soundtrack would be released that day.[4] It is titled to distinguish it from their previous acoustic Òran Mór Session, recorded at the same venue in 2015.[5]

Track listing

All lyrics are written by James Alexander Graham, except "M" by Robert Smith; all music is composed by Andy MacFarlane, except "M" by The Cure.
