Our Take
In their latest offering, The Minus 5 deliver a festive gem with "Dear December," the perfect soundtrack to get you through the holiday season. Frontman Scott McCaughey, accompanied by a stellar lineup of guest musicians including Peter Buck and Mike Mills of R.E.M., crafts a collection of songs that blend melancholy with merriment in true Minus 5 fashion. Opening track "Your Christmas Whiskey" sets the tone with its clever lyrics and infectious melody, instantly drawing listeners in. From the jangly guitars of "When Christmas Hurts You This Way" to the dreamy harmonies of "You'll Never Guess the Ending," each song offers a unique twist on the traditional holiday sound. But it's not all festive cheer on "Dear December." The Minus 5 delve into darker territory with tracks like "Worst Christmas Ever" and "I Still Believe in New Year's Eve," tackling themes of heartbreak and longing with their signature wit and wisdom. It's this perfect balance of light and shade that makes the album a standout in the sea of Christmas releases. Ultimately, "Dear December" is a gift that keeps on giving, offering something for everyone to enjoy. So grab a mince pie, pour yourself a glass of mulled wine, and let The Minus 5 soundtrack your holiday season with this charming, heartfelt collection of songs. Cheers to that!
