Sun June and Advance Base have teamed up for a new song, aptly titled ‘Christmas Is Over’. Check it out below.
“‘Christmas Is Over’ is about those brief, difficult, and sometimes glorious encounters you have when you come back home for the holidays,” Sun June said in a statement. “We love to regress. We love to bum cigs from old flames. We love to be totally depleted by family drama! Working on this song was a dream—we sent the demo to Owen, the greatest Christmas songwriter. He brought the song into his Advance Base world and gave it a new life. Christmas is OVER.”
Advance Base’s Owen Ashworth added: “I’ve been a fan of Sun June ever since we shared a bill in Austin, TX back in 2016. It was a joy to take one of their beautiful songs apart and try to reimagine it. Their original demo for ‘Christmas Is Over’ was just a guitar and a vocal. I kept Laura’s vocal track and built a whole new synth and drum machine arrangement around it, adding my own backing vocals. Bennett Littlejohn mixed and mastered the song and Aaron Sewards made the cover art, closing the circle on a dream project.”
Advance Base released his new album, Horrible Occurrences, earlier this month. Sun June’s last album was 2023’s Bad Dream Jaguar. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Sun June.
