Following up the November release of their Cinderglow EP, Brooklyn dream pop quartet The Harrow have made available a luminous version of the wintry For Against classic “December,” the 1988 title track of that Nebraska band’s masterful December LP.
Appropriately enough, this tribute single was released on Dec. 27.
For Against have always been a very special band for us here at The Harrow. Their blend of jangle pop, post-punk, and dream pop set them apart from many of their American contemporaries, and their discography is in a word: perfect.
We first heard the news of vocalist and bassist Jeff Runnings’ stage 4 cancer diagnosis in November, and we as a band wanted to show our deep appreciation and love for Jeff and For Against with this very special cover.
Jeff has always been extremely supportive of our band and is a truly kind soul, and we are honored to call him a friend.
We will be donating all Bandcamp proceeds for this single to Jeff’s GoFundMe, which can be found here:

We hope you enjoy this cover, and if you’re unfamiliar with the original, please be sure to check out the song ASAP and explore the entire For Against discography.
Please hold your loved ones close and have a happy holiday season.
The Harrow’s current lineup consists of Frank Deserto, LeeAnn Falciani, Greg Fasolino and John Forester.
