Sleigher

Ben Folds

Orchestral piano pop that swaps holiday cheer for adult introspection. Wry, lushly arranged, and deeply nostalgic for a winter that might never have existed.

October 25, 2024 · New West Records

A thoughtful, slightly weary reflection on the holidays that balances orchestral beauty with suburban realism.

Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic tension of the snare drum building into a lush piano crescendo on the opening track
The delicate, almost whispered vocal delivery during the sparse bridge of Sleepwalking Through Christmas
The sudden burst of brass and classic pop energy that breaks the tension in Xmas Aye Eye
