Dear December is a collection of 12 seasonal songs written by Scott McCaughey with a little help from his friends. Guests include Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), M. Ward and Chuck Prophet. RSD exclusive LP package is a gatefold jacket with 12 cut-outs on front cover (think: Advent Calendar) and white vinyl. Single LP in gatefold jacket. Front panel/cover of the gatefold has the tree/ornament design w/ 12 cut-outs + there is a perforation along the spine, so fans can remove (if they dare!) this front panel of the gatefold package. The right panel inside the gatefold jacket will have the exact same artwork as the ""tear-away"" cover, so that if someone removes the cover, the album cover will remain the same - it will just be in a single sleeve jacket and the cover won't have the cut-outs. Left panel of inside gatefold (back of the cover w/ 12 cut-outs) will have lyrics.A1: Iowa, A Girl's Name 2:45 A2: Seasons 3:00 A3: Mary Jane 2:45A4: Rose Colored Glasses 2:40 A5: Musical Tribute To The Oscar Meyer Weiner Wagon 3:35 A6: In Silver Light 2:07 B1: This Song Needs No Introduction 3:00 B2: There's Nothing Left To Do But Cry 2:55 B3: Bicycle 2:25 B4: Purple Day 2:45 B5: Boop 1:45 B6: Love In A Circle

In early 2017, Scott McCaughey was asked to write some holiday songs for another artists holiday album. He became so inspired by the task that he wrote more than an albums worth of material and decided to record that album with his group, The Minus 5, a rotating line-up of musician friends that McCaughey recruits to join him from time-to-time. The resulting album, Dear December, brings holiday cheer and a fresh batch of great songs featuring collaborations with Ben Gibbard (death Cab for Cutie), Peter Buck, Mike Mills, The Posies, Colin Meloy (The Decemberists), Chuck Prophet, M. Ward, Tammy Ealom (Dressy Bessy), Kurt Bloch, Kelly Hogan and Norah OConnor.
