Brothers Osborne Love New Year’s Eve
Brothers Osborne find the traditional happenings of New Year’s Eve a fascinating study in humanity.
John and TJ explain.
“I think it’s kind of funny how we spend literally the last moment and the very first moment of every year being extremely intoxicated, extremely, because you don’t want to wait until like 12:30 to get your buzz on. You’ve got to do it before midnight, and then once midnight happens, you’re like, ‘Omigod! Now it’s time to celebrate even more.’ Debauchery is the literally bookending your entire year. (TJ) I love how everyone starts the year off with diets and then we end the year with like excessive amounts of food. And then you get to the end of the year, you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m going to start a diet on the 1st, so I’m going to eat everything that’s in front of me.’ I love it. (John) And come February 1st, ‘what diet?’ (laughs) (TJ) ‘What diet? I’ll start it next month.’”
Brothers Osborne will release the deluxe edition of their latest album, Skeletons, on January 21st.
The project, which was originally released in October of last year, is nominated for Best Country Album at next month’s Grammy Awards.
