Sufjan Stevens’ ‘Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas Vols. 6-10’ Vinyl Box Set & Exclusive Merchandise Now Available for Pre-Order

Asthmatic Kitty Records announces the repressing of Sufjan Stevens’ Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6-10 LP box set. This collection compiles five EPs recorded between 2006 and 2010 and is available now for pre-order on vinyl for the first time since its original 2012 release.

Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6-10 expands on the tradition of Sufjan Stevens’ first box-set Songs for Christmas, Vols. 1-5 and features nearly 60 tracks that investigate the canon of devotional hymns and holiday pop songs, as well as 18 original songs from Sufjan Stevens. The album includes collaborations with artists such as Aaron and Bryce Dessner (The National), and Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire), among others.

Two versions of the release are available now for pre-order, and will be released on November 1, 2024. The LP box set features an array of holiday-themed bonus items designed by Sufjan and friends and is available exclusively via the AKR shop. The collection will also be available at record stores as a standalone LP set for the first time ever, featuring all 5 releases (6 LPs) assembled in a slipcase. This version includes just the albums, with the additional holiday merchandise available only with the AKR vinyl box set.
