VICE Exclusive: Listen to Pupppy's New Song 'Puking (Merry Christmas)'

I don't know what it is about SUNY Purchase—maybe it's the low tuition, the desolate upstate New York atmosphere, or the heavy drinking—but those kids know how to make music. The college has recently spawned LVL UP, Porches, Spook Houses, Mitski, and Rotaries. Now there's Pupppy, a bummer-pop enterprise that began as the solo project of Will Rutledge and has quickly evolved into an outstanding band. "Puking (Merry Christmas)" is a track from Pupppy's new album, Shit in the Apple Pie, out April 21 on Father/Daughter Records. In it, Rutledge plasters his insecurities over reliable (but never derivative) pop song structures to make something unique. Give it a listen.
