In chat with Australian Musician, Polish Club's Novak unpacked the duo's festive new album Christmas Stinks, a 20-song covers project recorded at breakneck speed. The idea had been simmering for years, particularly for bandmate John and the pair finally decided to take on the challenge of learning and recording two dozen Christmas classics in less than a week. Choosing the right tracks proved easier than expected; Novak trimmed the list to avoid overly cliché or overly difficult cuts, leaning into Polish Club's love of working within constraints.
With the album out, Polish Club are taking their Yuletide chaos to the stage with their Christmas Bowlo Bash: Thornbury Bowlo on December 20 and Marrickville Bowlo on December 21
