The duo return from their short hiatus to provide a poignant and thoughtful take on the holiday song
A thoughtful and unique take on the holiday single, latest Gold Spectacles single ‘together for christmas’ explores the all too familiar and often difficult feeling of spending the festive season with somebody missing, balancing themes of grief and love with an expansive soundscape that encapsulates the duo’s compelling appeal.
The track has a really reflective and poignant feel to it throughout, capturing the unique feeling of that first Christmas without a familiar face around with the kind of reverence and emotion that it demands while still maintaining playful and intricate nature of their sound. ‘together for christmas’ is a track that offers a new perspective and a change of pace from the more traditional song for this time of year, but makes for a really cathartic and moving listening experience that is packed full of charm and authenticity.
“We wrote the song in the aftermath of losing my Dad” Amie explains. “We wanted to write something that could resonate with anyone facing this time of year with an empty chair at the table.”
