Stevens, Sufjan - Songs For Christmas
Stevens, Sufjan - Songs For Christmas
NEW VINYL LP ON ASTHMATIC KITTY 2018
5 X 180 GRAM VINYL.
Like Avalanche, Songs for Christmas is nothing if not eclectic. A whole sleigh-load of carols and original tunes collected from 2001 to 2006, these songs were written and recorded off the cuff, and naturally many of them feel a little ragged and underdone. But they're far more mature than any of the songs on A Sun Came, and there are moments of quirky holiday splendor -- moments akin to some of the best material on Greetings from Michigan and Illinoise -- that make plowing through the entire five-EP set a pleasure.
