It’s not that often that I hear a Christmas song that doesn’t make me want to quit music. A lot of McCarthy Trenching songs do that. The first time I heard this song it hit me like a ton of bricks. They named the band after the trenching company owned by Dan’s uncle so they could sell those t-shirts instead of having to make their own. “We played a show together in Omaha this last year. “McCarthy Trenching is singer-songwriter Dan McCarthy’s band,” Bridgers informs us. Phoebe Bridgers, fresh off wowing everyone with her work in boygenius, has jumped into the tinsel-lined fray as well, teaming up with Jackson Browne for a cover of McCarthy Trenching’s “Christmas Song.” It’s a much different look than the Kahn and Perry tunes, and, well, variety is one of the things that makes Christmas so special. This morning we hyped Boston’s Hana Kahn and her enjoyable holiday bop “Ho Ho Ho”, and we’ve already spent way too many sugar-coated spins on seasonally appropriate jams by everyone from Mason Ramsey to Katy Perry.

This track was self produced by Jacob Shipley in his bedroom, but features some incredible lead guitar parts written by Matthew Gregory, a killer bass line by Katrien Van Riel, and a hot drum track by Mike Lunoe. He might have been trying to “news jack” Phoebe Bridgers and her growing popularity in order to build his own fanbase, but nope, you guessed it, he just likes Phoebe Bridgers. Jacob may have wanted to release an upbeat song that would help his audience adapt to his more pop-punk inspired songs to come, but it was just that he thought Phoebe would like it like this. This tongue in cheek track could be interpreted as commentary on how we as a society idolize celebrities and a cautionary tale for the concept of “stanning,” but again, it’s just a chill song about Phoebe Bridgers. But it’s chill, he just wants to be friends. He did write this song about her after all called Phoebe Fucking Bridgers. Singer songwriter Jacob Shipley (Indie Band Guru, The Other Side Reviews, Music for the Misfits) is a little obsessed with Phoebe Bridgers. ![]()
