Sad Cute Punk Rock is sort of a Christmas song. Bleak Streak’s use of twinkly, bell-like guitars, vocal harmonies to simple melodies and major chord cadence certainly engender some of the hallmarks of the Christmas-cliche variety, and Sad Cute Punk Rock has all the warmth of a fireplace on Christmas Eve culminating in a hopeful conclusion much in the way that emo and slow-core contemporaries American Football and Pile do, while vocalists chime in canon that is undeniably reminiscent of John Lennon’s Happy Christmas (War Is Over).
