Songs for Christmas

3rd Dec 2006

Here's a very pleasant range of festive numbers to get you in the Christmas spirit from Sufjan Stevens. It's a compilation of five EPs released over consecutive years from 2001. The music is a combination of softly sung vocals, some lo-fi banjo picking and just the right amount of jingling bells. Tracks range from traditional fare like 'The Little Drummer Boy' to original Christmas ditties like 'That Was The Worst Christmas Ever' and 'The Incarnation'. And all beautifully packaged with a lyrics handbook (so you can sing and play along on the guitar) and a poster with cartoons. Fun fun fun!

You can listen to the whole compilation online.
