🎄🔥@sufjan’s ‘Worst Christmas Ever!’ is here, featuring 15 holiday essentials selected from more than 100 recordings across the box sets ‘Songs for Christmas’ and ‘Silver & Gold.’ The album also includes the new single “On This Christmas (It Only Gets Better),” Stevens’ first new Christmas song written, produced, and performed entirely by himself in nearly 15 years. With a holiday catalog this deep, the album is intended as an accessible and affordable point of entry, available on LP, CD and cassette for yourself or as a gift for anyone special on your shopping list.
Sufjan started writing and recording Christmas music in 2001 with the original intent of making a few Christmas gifts for family and friends. He didn’t initially plan for those early songs to start a snowball eventually leading to nearly five hours of Christmas songs. Each time he worked on these, the process was the same: One week in December, usually at home, he’d pull in friends, roommates, or musical peers; whoever was around. In 2006, Asthmatic Kitty Records collected the first five volumes as ‘Songs for Christmas, Vols. 1-5,’ and in 2012, released ‘Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6-10,’ compiling five more EPs recorded between 2006 and 2010.
The volumes these songs come from were made with a long running cast of collaborators, including @aarondessner and @brycedessner of @thenational, @rrparry of @arcadefire, @stranger_cat__ , @gabrielkahane, @caseyfoubert,@rosiethomasofficial,@marlahansenmusic, Olivier Manchon (@musicformovingimages), @900x, Sebastian Krueger, and Daniel, @elinksmith, Lilly, and Ida Smith of @danielson_famile.

Out today – “On This Christmas (It Only Gets Better),” the first new Christmas song written, produced, and performed by @Sufjan in nearly 15 years. The single arrives ahead of Friday’s LP release of the album ‘Worst Christmas Ever!’
“I love the idea of a Christmas apology. A holiday characterized by the giving and receiving of gifts might be made even better by the giving and receiving of forgiveness. “I’m sorry” is the ultimate ice-breaker in a moment of conflict, contention, and misunderstanding. Let’s try to be better this year: more loving, forgiving, welcoming and reckoning. This song is a prayer—that we can all find a way to yield to the wisdom and understanding of forgiveness. I believe the world will find its way. ” — Sufjan Stevens
Inspired by the mixed media animation of Leesa Allmond (@leesology), the music video includes a total of 6,000 stills that were printed, hand-painted by Sufjan, Michael O’Neal, Cubby Graham, and Hannah Cohen and re-scanned to create the overlay effect on the video.

We know it’s too early to be talking about Christmas, but Sufjan Stevens’ ‘Worst Christmas Ever!’ is coming, and we couldn’t wait to tell you.
On November 6th, Asthmatic Kitty Records will release Worst Christmas Ever!, a single-album collection that distills Sufjan Stevens’ expansive holiday catalog into one record. Fifteen fan favorites, drawn from more than one hundred Christmas recordings across the box sets Songs for Christmas and Silver & Gold, will arrive alongside a new original, “On This Christmas (It Only Gets Better),” Sufjan’s first new Christmas song in nearly fifteen years. The new track is built around apology, self-assessment, and asking for forgiveness: “On this Christmas, I ask forgiveness for all the funny things I’ve said and done,” Sufjan sings.
‘Worst Christmas Ever!’ is available to pre-order now on vinyl, CD and cassette.

@meglui’s debut album ‘Instant Validation’ is out now! Produced by @sufjan, packed with 12 songs that swing between raw emotion and a wildly surreal cast of characters, the album includes the recent singles “Gone Girl,” a cover of The Cranberries’ “Dreams (feat. Sufjan Stevens),” “Elvis Queen,” and “Miss Queen Know It All.”
In her own words on the title track, “Instant Validation (feat. Sufjan Stevens)”:
“I wrote ‘Instant Validation’ thinking about our collective obsession with checking social media to make sure we’re getting enough likes — and how it feeds the worst part of ourselves. It’s about seeking affirmation to make small moments feel special - even when they already are and curating our lives through pictures and videos for other people. It’s not meant to be a judgment on others, it was something I saw in myself and still struggle with. So this song is an attempt to poke fun at my own insecurities around having an online presence.” – Meg Lui

On September 17, 2001, @sufjan released his second studio album, ‘Enjoy Your Rabbit,’ a song cycle inspired by the animals of the Chinese Zodiac.
In an interview with Delusions of Adequacy, Stevens revealed that he “wanted to create an aural environment for each animal: a movie soundtrack (without the movie).” He also described the relationship of imagination in listeners to the instrumental nature of the album, saying “Many people say the same thing: that they inevitably end up visualizing a place or a picture when listening (carefully) to the album. Maybe this is the purpose of instrumental music in the first place. There are no lyrics (or narrative) to encourage the listener. Therefore you are free to imagine what you like.”
This clip is from the music video for “Year of the Tiger” from ‘Enjoy Your Rabbit,’ directed and animated by Geoffrey Hoskinson.

AKR is thrilled to announce that @meglui’s debut album, ‘Instant Validation,’ is releasing on September 25th, but you don’t have to wait until then to place your order. ‘Instant Validation’ is available to pre-order now!
Featuring “Gone Girl,” a cover of The Cranberries’ “Dreams (feat. @sufjan),” and new single “Elvis Queen,” there are a total of 12 tracks on the album, all produced by and featuring Sufjan Sufjans (with co-production by @keenanomeara).
“This song is about my aunt who was a huge Elvis fan,” Meg says. “At first it was a very slow, sentimental song, but we sped it up for the final version—she was a very joyful and fun person, so it made sense for it to feel a little bit like a party.”
