As purveyors of the new and interesting, we are always looking for unique submissions to feast our ears upon.

In that regard, it’s like Zac Young already knows us. In turn, he delivered a holiday tune to our doorstep unlike any we’ve ever heard.

“Blacked Out on a White Christmas” breaks past the overwrought, inescapable holly jolly-ness that permeates every facet of our lives this time of year. Instead, we are treated to a sprawling art rock soundscape that carries us through a variety of tinsel-covered settings — while acknowledging the heaviness of the season that is so often overlooked.

“The holidays for everyone are different, but for most people, they are heavy times,” Young said. “I mean that positively and negatively. For some, the holidays are heavy and warm with love, family, (and) memories. For others, they are heavy for the lack thereof. This song brings that intensity, and I feel it’s relatable to most.”

He continued, “And as we know, the holidays likely involve drinking.”
