Capturing the vibe of holiday work parties amidst a dreamy, introspective jangle-pop charm, “Office Christmas Party” is a new track from UK-based act Wyldest. The songwriting and production of Zoe Mead leads the talented project. The song certainly achieves a fuzzy, romantic enamoring in its conveying of two protagonists — co-workers “Julie” and “Mindy” — as they navigate the difference setting of a Christmas party, where the stuffiness of a typical workday dissipates in favor of a more jovial setting. Will they finally break free and express their feelings for each other?
“I’ve seen you around, I guess I’ve been too proud,” the vocals let out amidst twangy guitar affections, with the vocals touting a lush engrossment into the soulful “copy machine,” segment. A hazy Christmastime setting enamors amidst portrayal of a new relationship ignited, in the warm glow of Christmas nights and snowfalls. Wyldest says: “I hope the song makes people smile and feel warm and fuzzy inside. Christmas is a time for us all to drop the shackles of everyday life, have fun and tell people how we feel.”
