Having already released one of the year's best albums, Unicorn Dogs are giving us bonus awesomeness with their new single. There are few things I love more than the fall, so naturally a fall-themed single is going to be right up my alley. "Lycanthrope" is probably literally about becoming a werewolf, but there's part of me that suspects the song could be a metaphor for how we become hardened by the cruelty of humanity. Either way, it's a freaking awesome song. When it comes to playing gritty yet immensely catchy pop-punk that makes you want to pump your fist in the air and sing along at the top of your lungs, Unicorn Dogs are as good as it gets. On the B-side, "COVID Thanksgiving" might sound like a potentially humorous song. But it's actually completely serious. The song conveys how much it sucks to have a major holiday completely ruined because you and/or your family members have COVID. This is a great example of why Unicorn Dogs are such a relatable band. They write honest, straight-from-the-heart songs about real life stuff. There are few things worse than suffering in isolation with your hot tea while the rest of America gorges on stuffing and mashed potatoes. Man, the pandemic was the worst! But Unicorn Dogs are the absolute best for gifting us with this seasonal special. Procure your favorite pumpkin-spiced beverage, put on a light sweater, and crank this thing on repeat!
