The latest news from Asthmatic Kitty is that Sufjan Stevens is releasing a new Christmas collection on 13 November, 'Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas Volumes 6-10'. Things like this always put me in a quandary - why am I talking about Christmas at the start of October? On the other hand, if we don't know things are happening how can we plan a good Christmas. O well.
The first song available to hear on Bandcamp is 'Christmas Unicorn', a delightful song that builds and builds and turns, almost naturally into 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' at the end. Click to listen for yourself. If the rest of the songs are anything like this then it'll be a corker of a record! I already love the cover:
Anyway, the blurb from the Kitty says:
Happy Holidays! On November 13, 2012, Asthmatic Kitty will release (another!) Christmas box-set extravaganza by Sufjan Stevens—Silver & 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 & Gold is a generous document of five more years of holly-jolly jubilee undertaken by Sufjan and his various musical cohorts. There's a veritable feast for the eyes of content in the CD and vinyl boxsets. Click here to see all the contents.
Your local record store will be carrying both the CD and Vinyl boxsets. We are offering a special Mail Order edition of the vinyl boxset, which will come with extra goodies shipped especially for you. PLEASE NOTE: Vinyl Box Set may not arrive in time for Christmas. Manufacturing for this product is quite elaborate, to say the least; everyone's doing his/her best to facilitate a timely arrival.
Listen to the first single from the boxset, "Christmas Unicorn," on Bandcamp by clicking here. And we've released a page from the coloring book, illustrated by Stephen Halker, right here (share your coloring with us by tweeting #colormexmas).
