LIMITED EDITION 6LP VINYL BOXSET
Release Date: 29th November 2024
"Another christmas box-set extravaganza by the implacable singer / songwriter Sufjan Stevens - Silver and Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6-10, a compilation of 5 eps recorded between 2006 and 2010. expanding on the tradition of the first box-set (songs for Christmas, Vols. 1-5 from 2006), Silver and Gold is a generous document of five more years of holly-jolly jubilee - christmas caroling, sleigh-bell-ringing, collaborative songwriting - undertaken by Sufjan and his various musical cohorts. Originally intended as gifts for family and friends, these musical snapshots have been re-mixed and re-assembled for the public in an exquisitely-designed gift box containing all the yuletide pleasures money can buy: christmas stickers, temporary tattoos, lyric sheets and chord charts, a paper ornament, an apocalyptic pull-out poster, photos, illustrations, and extensive liner notes - a veritable christmas feast for the eyes and ears. The album features collaborations with a running line-up of friends and musical peers, including Aaron and Bryce Dessner (the National), Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire), DM Stith (the Revival Hour, Asthmatic Kitty recording artist), Cat Martino (Sufjan's right-hand woman on all things age of adz), Sebastian Krueger (Inlets), Gabriel Kahane, Vesper Stamper, and members of Danielson (Daniel, Elin, Lilly, and Ida)."
