Christmas has come early for fans of Field Report – or those who simply need some kind of variety between the endless playings of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" and Bruce Springsteen's rendition of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town." The Milwaukee-based band premiered a new track called "On Christmas Eve" this morning on Paste Magazine's website.

The new track is a Paste Magazine exclusive, so click here to check it out. 

According to the accompanying interview with Paste Magazine, the moody and evocative song – a collection of beautifully raw and lyrical stories taking place on Christmas Eve, including a car accident in snowy Riverwest – was born when a fan asked frontman Chris Porterfield to revisit a previously unfinished song. 

The song is a nice bow on a strong 2014 for Field Report, who released their anticipated sophomore album "Marigolden" in October to much critical praise.
