Reviews and Comments
“Our December” is the latest single from DRUG COUPLE. A record that invites you into their kind of December.
A single that blows smoke rings right through the festive season, “Our December” finds Vermont’s most laid-back duo bidding a lively, if lethargic, farewell to just another year we’d probably all rather forget. As the Couple explain:
"Our December is a rather ambivalent meditation on the end of any number of things….Of a prime, a relationship, the world.”
Coated in the kind of gritty, lo-fi fuzz you’d expect to find on a classic Wedding Present or Dinosaur Jr cut, rather than the insipid jingle-bell jangle that most other Christmas records will be opting for this month; Drug Couple shirk the seasonal schmaltz to send 2021 packing with a rousing slacker-rock anthem for the end of days.
“After doing our last few projects piecemeal in the studio we were excited to track some rockers straight to tape in the barn and that’s what this one is.” says Becca. “Classic 80’s/early 90’s indie-rock with a little distorted organ added for our obligatory Yo La Tengo nod. The mix was informed by Sonic Youth’s ‘Dirty’….which is definitely NOT the best Sonic Youth album."
