The creepiest version of 'Jingle Bells' ever?

We had the throat-singing duo PIQSIQ on the blog earlier (in 2019, here), and the girls continued to release Christmas song every year. From the Coventry Carol (here) to Angels We Have Heard On High (here), versions of well-known songs that sound like nothing you heard before. It's the combination of the breathing sounds (a bit like the samples in Kraftwerk's Tour de France), the atmosphere, the percussion, the wordless choir-singing. One can say that Inuksuk Mackay and Tiffany Ayalik really own the carols/hymns.

You read the headline for this post (thanks Jim/Christmas Underground for the tip), for I think that Inuksuk and Tiffany outdid themselves this time with their really eerie, creepy version of Jingle Bells. A song that's probably covered over a 1000 times, but not in the way these girls do it. The artwork might suggest a link to horror movie The Ring, the low sustained bass-note is alerting of something rather unpleasant, and the ghostly choir singing, mixed with the alien rustling is hair-raising. Jingle Hell, you say? Try their Halloween song as well, here.
