While checking my blog stats I saw some searches for a new Sufjan Stevens Christmas collection. New music from Sufi is always welcomed and I was able to find this posting at volume-knob with some info (and music) on the new ep called Astral Inter Planet Space Captain Christmas Infinity Voyage, Volume VIII. (a great title that just rolls off the tongue)
Was this one of his family and friends making this release public or an eleaborate hoax? I was skeptical, but saw that pitchfork had reported on the release. So if you Enjoy Your Rabbit then you should like these songs. Here is on of the songs:
Christmas In the Room
Track Listing
01 Angels We Have Heard on High
02 Do You See What I See?
03 It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
04 Christmas in the Room
05 Good King Wenceslas
06 Joy to the World
07 The Child With the Star on His Head
If you missed out on Jon Foreman’s Fall, Winter, Spring Summer ep’s then Limbs and Branches just might be a good place to start to see what you’ve missed. Essentially a “best of” the ep’s with 2 new songs.
1. Your Love Is Strong (from Spring)
2. Behind Your Eyes (from Winter)
3. The Cure For Pain (from Fall)
4. Resurrect Me (from Summer)
5. Southbound Train (from Fall)
6. Broken From The Start (New)
7. The House Of God Forever (from Summer)
8. Instead Of A Show (from Summer)
9. A Mirror Is Harder To Hold (from Summer)
10. In My Arms (from Spring)
11. Learning How To Die (from Winter)
