Singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers continued her run of somber Christmas-song activism on Thursday by dropping a cover of the Handsome Family's 2000 song "So Much Wine."
Each holiday season since 2017, when Bridgers released a cover of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," the L.A.-based artist has shared her take on a Christmas classic. This year the proceeds will go to the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
Bridgers' melancholic, acoustic or stripped-down covers act as counterprogramming of sorts, trudging against the blizzard of cheery, maximalist holiday music that fills shopping malls and commercials during the Christmas season.
