In a season where we all seek comfort, tradition, and a return to a home of sorts, a trio composed of indie musics foundational members have gifted us A Peace of Usan album of diverse holiday tunes filtered through their musical imaginations. Dean & Britta, well-known from their work defining a genre with Galaxie 500 and Luna, join Spacemen 3s Sonic Boom, another bastion of indies collective adolescence, to bring to life a collection that draws from early 60s pop, garage, country, James Bond soundtracks, Christmas carols, and electronica. Dean Wareham recalls a sentiment from his DJ friend Chris: You can experience all the emotions of Christmas through music: love and hate, joy and heartache, nostalgia, regret, anticipation, and frustration. Their venture into a holiday album was organic, spurred by a few cover tunes over the years, a Christmas special during the pandemic, and finally collaborative sessions between Dean & Britta in L.A. and Sonic Boom in Portugal. The trio all contributed vocals, with guitars by Wareham, bass and keyboards by Phillips, effects, and mixes by Sonic. The result is an album of exploration as well as comfort, like Bing Crosby...on acid, Britta adds, the tracklist a reminder that the holidays are complex and tragicomic. If collaboration is the fuel, peace and mutual understanding is surely the fire, and A Peace of Us has us gathered around it. Christmas is mostly for children anyway, says Dean. Sonic adds, Or the inner child in all of us. Goodwi
