6LP Box Set in Slipcase

This 2024 Asthmatic Kitty Records pressing of Silver & Gold, catalog number AKR100, gathers all five volumes of Sufjan Stevens' second Christmas series on six LPs in a slipcase: Gloria, I Am Santa's Helper, Christmas Infinity Voyage across two records, Let It Snow and Christmas Unicorn. The label counts nearly 60 tracks, traditional hymns and holiday pop songs set beside Stevens' own songs.

Asthmatic Kitty first released Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6–10 on November 13, 2012, six years after Songs for Christmas. Stevens recorded one volume each December from 2006 through 2010, returned to Christmas Infinity Voyage in 2011 and 2012, and produced the set himself. Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National co-wrote several songs on Gloria, Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire plays on the collection, and Marla Hansen, Cat Martino and Vesper Stamper are among the singers.

The box reached No. 70 on the Billboard 200 and No. 5 on Billboard's Americana/Folk Albums chart, and it holds a Metacritic score of 76. Sputnikmusic's review described a record where "introspection meets with group sing-a-longs, depression meets with joyous outbursts." Lee Hardcastle made the claymation video for "Mr. Frosty Man" shown above.
