Ben Crane’s Christmas by the Beach is a melancholic reflection on the isolation many feel during the holiday season. Written in California and recorded in Brooklyn, the track blends the laid-back tones of Holy Hive with the introspective stylings of Kurt Vile and early Bowie. Crane paints a somber picture of the holidays, where the festive cheer feels more like a mask than a celebration. It’s a song for anyone who feels alone when the world is full of joy, offering a quiet reminder that, even in loneliness, you’re never truly alone.
A bittersweet anthem for the holiday misfits.
