Noel: Songs for Christmas, Volume I

Sufjan Stevens

A charmingly unpolished, bedroom-recorded collection of Christmas carols and original tunes. Warm, dusty, and deeply intimate.

December 2001

Find on Amazon

A rustic, warm, and slightly melancholic celebration of winter and faith.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the driving banjo rhythm on O Come O Come Emmanuel, turning a solemn hymn into an urgent, kinetic road song.
The joyful, clattering kitchen-sink percussion and handclaps that burst through on We're Goin' to the Country!.
The fragile, tape-hiss-laden acoustic guitar and hushed vocal delivery on Lo! How a Rose E'er Blooming.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
