This might not be the “Song 2” you’re readily familiar with, but just like that title-sharing hit single from Britpop extraordinaires Blur, 12 Decembers’ new track too is meriting of and designed for your undivided attention.
This one, however, is more leisurely than the rave-up of its counterpart and twice the duration, drifting closer to shoegazing and allowing the listener to slip into its alluring harmonies, the wave-like crash of its instruments and its pristine production. Its sound is comparable in sensibility to something Teenage Fanclub might’ve had to offer in their early days, a testament to the audible connectedness of these independent Santa Cruz rockers to the craft of beauty within the studio.
