Sufjan Stevens |
|
In December 2001, Sufjan set out to create a Christmas gift for his
friends and family. The result was a seven-song recording that he called "Noel
Vol. 1". Over the next several years, he created new EPs to add to the
collection. This 5-CD box set includes all five volumes, plus a 42-page booklet
with an original Christmas essay by acclaimed American novelist Ricky Moody,
two essays, a short story by Stevens, a holiday sticker, chord charts, lyrics,
comic strip, family portrait poster, photos, and an animated video.
Never one to lack ambition, indie-pop hero Sufjan Stevens takes the
tried-and-true holiday album to a new level with this five-disc Christmas box
set. A mix of Stevens originals and Yuletide classics recorded between 2001 and
'06, the collection presents the amiable singer/multi-instrumentalist
performing festive self-penned tunes such as the bouncy, piano-driven "Come On!
Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance!" and the White Stripes-referencing,
ELO-influenced "Get Behind Me, Santa!" along with no less than three versions
of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel." While five discs may seem exhausting to some, for
those who adore both Christmas and Stevens, this lovingly assembled compilation
makes for hours of smart, celebratory fun.
