In early 2017, Scott McCaughey penned a few holidaynumbers to submit to a well-known artists prospective holiday album.He became so inspired by the task that he wrote more than analbums worth of material and decided to record that albumwith his group, The Minus 5, which for this project includesMinus 5 co-captain Peter Buck and drummerJoe Adragna as core members.
I wanted to evoke the classic Christmas album feeling withoutleaning too heavily on sweet baby Jesus and good ol Little St. Nick,says McCaughey. Yet I also wanted to curb my cynical tendenciesas well. I feel we succeeded on both counts, and the results area holiday record that should work for any and all.
The resulting album, Dear December, brings holiday cheerand a fresh batch of seasonal songs that include the generoustalents of Benjamin Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie), Mike Mills,Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer of the Posies, Colin Meloy(The Decemberists), Chuck Prophet, M.
