Dazed and confused electronic reverb from Ryan McReynolds masks a tale of blood and rage. “Christmas Day 1989,” what is left to say?
Hard garage regret from Please Exist drops memories from “Christmas 1989” like hot turds. Where has the childish excitement gone? The pain of growing up.
“Paradise (Christmas, 1989)” from Andrew Samples has some electronic percussion reminiscent of the year, but the whole child’s-toys-making-me-who-I am-while-I’m-dying routine is so overdone.
“Christmas 1989” from Andrew Wosylyk sounds like the time it embodies. Pop piffle about wanting and getting and nothing in particular. Like 1989.
