Girlfriend Material - Winter And Construction

about

Girlfriend Material was born when Graham Wright (Tokyo Police Club) took time out from the band to direct a horror movie, Clean. Charged up from listening to the likes of PUP and Pkew Pkew Pkew, he recruited Josh Hook (also Tokyo Police Club), Jake Boyd (Hollerado) and Joseph Garand (met in a bar and tried to buy his old apartment). Having recorded three EP’s (including two Christmas EPs) this year saw the band release their debut proper Cool Car, packed full of crunchy power-pop hooks, distorted riffage and chiming guitars. It’s an optimistic, tender and at times melancholy exploration of the shift from youthful abandon to adulthood, and all the bits that come in between.

The band returned late last month with their third seasonal EP If Anyone Asks, Just Tell Them Your’e Santa Claus. Graham Walsh explained a little about the track: ““we just have the two seasons: winter and construction” is an extremely corny old Canadian joke, and I always thought it sounded like a good song title. To that end, I have like 8 bad demos called ‘Winter and Construction’ from the last few years, so obviously I was overjoyed when i finally managed to make it work in a song. In keeping with most of my Christmas songs, it’s a sort of meditation on life’s weird inertia and how sometimes a whole lot of meaninglessness somehow amounts to meaning. Or something”
