Dean and Britta, well-known from their work defining a genre with Galaxie 500 and Luna, join Spacemen 3’s Sonic Boom, another bastion of indie’s 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.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir 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 and 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf collaboration is the fuel, peace and mutual understanding is surely the fire, and \u003ci\u003eA Peace of Us\u003c\/i\u003e has us gathered around it. “Christmas is mostly for children anyway,” says Dean. Sonic adds, “Or the inner child in all of us. Goodwill to all men. Hopes and fears for the year to come. And light in the darkness. Where this festival began.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable on limited emerald vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":53603752018296,"sku":"","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/2497\/files\/dean.jpg?v=1728553786","url":"https:\/\/www.southrecordshop.com\/products\/dean-britta-sonic-boom-a-peace-of-us","provider":"South Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
