Product Details

Sufjan Stevens built his holiday catalog the old-fashioned way, recording homemade Christmas EPs as annual gifts for friends and family before the tradition quietly grew into something far more ambitious. The five-volume Songs for Christmas and the ten-volume Silver & Gold together represent one of the most singular bodies of seasonal music in indie folk, ranging from hushed, intimate hymns to orchestral whimsy. This collection brings that sprawling archive into focus for the first time on a single disc.


On November 6th, Asthmatic Kitty Records will release Worst Christmas Ever!, a single-LP collection that distills Sufjan Stevens’ expansive holiday catalog -- drawn from the box sets Songs for Christmas and Silver & Gold -- into one definitive collection. The album pairs fifteen favorites, selected from more than one hundred Christmas recordings, with the newly released original song “On This Christmas (It Only Gets Better),” Sufjan’s first new Christmas song in nearly fifteen years.

Available on LP, CD, and cassette, Worst Christmas Ever! is the perfect introduction for new listeners and an essential addition for longtime Sufjan Christmas devotees.
