Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying themselves today.
I was honored to contribute to the 5th annual Chirp Record’s Chirpmas compilation! The comp features my band The In Betweens, Abbi Cadaver, Amateur Taxidermy, Finding Aureus, and Alien Machine.
I thought it would be fun to go over the behind the scenes of my track and give the others a nice little review! It was so cool to be featured alongside these other great musicians.
For my track I decided to do “If We Make It Through December” by Merle Haggard capped off with a little bit of “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” by John Lennon. I fell in love with If We Make It Through December because of Phoebe Bridgers beautiful cover of it so when I got the chance to be part of this last minute little comp I was dying to do a shoegazy cover of it.
Finding Aureus’s track “Christmas Is Just A Day” is a hauntingly beautiful emo-indie-pop leaning track. I love the lyricism, it captures the feeling of losing that special feeling has when you’re young fantastically.
Alien Machine covered the Christmas classic “I Want A Hippopotamous For Christmas” in a super fun punky style. The energy is perfect.
Abbi Cadaver did “Love Like Winter” and it sounds absolutely brutal. I love the production and the screams are on point.
Finally, Amateur Taxidermy caps off the project with a cover of Duncan by fishboy. It’s a perfect little acoustic track that ends the project in style.
Check it out and support Chirp Records!
Merry Chirpmas!
