Self-titled Album
After independently releasing two EPs, December Avenue released their first studio album on February 2016. Released under Tower of Doom Music, the album contains 11 tracks that took 5 years to make.
When asked why it took years for December Avenue to release an official debut album, vocalist Zel Bautista explained that aside from their conflicting schedules, building hype was crucial in the process of creating one.
“If we released the album too soon, hindi magiging ganito ang anticipation ng tao. Kumbaga, kung tayo tayo lang nakakaalam, what’s the sense of releasing an album if nobody knows you?” said Bautista, in an interview published by Indie Manila.
The same question was asked during December Avenue’s Rappler Live Jam performance, with Bautista saying that it did not feel right to release an album without much of a following.
Members added that they felt that December Avenue have fulfilled their musical destiny upon the album’s release, and that they are “overwhelmed.”
