Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6-10
Just in time for the holiday season, AKR has repressed Sufjan Stevens' iconic Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6-10 LP box set featuring festive originals and reimagined classics along with a songbook, coloring book, temporary tattoos, stickers and more festive items. Originally released in 2012 as a follow-up to 2006's Songs For Christmas: Vols 1-5, this collection compiles five EPs recorded between 2006 and 2010.
In addition to the Silver & Gold LP box set, AKR is excited to offer exclusive merchandise inspired by Sufjan’s beloved holiday collection, available now. Choose from a woven blanket, mock neck shirt, beanie, mug or even the Silver & Gold Songbook (now available separately from the box set).
*For the best chance of receiving your order by Christmas, please place it before December 10. Orders placed after this date may not arrive in time for the holiday.
Sufjan Holiday Playlists
Official Sufjan Yule Log
Sufjan has written and recorded over 100 holiday songs, released in two collections: Songs for Christmas (2006) and Silver & Gold (2012). We have set his expansive five-hour, 10-volume holiday repertoire to a peaceful yule log backdrop. This video is ideal for your favorite holiday activities: decorating the tree, baking, making calls to loved ones, or enjoying hot cocoa.
