Dear Friends,
Christmastime is upon us!! Merry Early Christmas to you! Here's a Holiday-filled announcement email!! At a glance:
Per Sleeping At Last tradition, I've been recording a Christmas song or two every year, which has accumulated into an entire 18-song album called "Christmas Collection, Volume One"!! This year I've added TWO brand-new recordings to the collection: "The First Noel" and "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" - SO very excited to share them with you!! Hope you like 'em! The album is out TODAY!! Streaming exclusively on: Spotify & Apple Music! Downloads via Noisetrade (100% of "tips" support charity, Love Does!) AND for the first time everrrr, it's been pressed on Vinyl!! (info below)
I'd be so very honored for you to consider adding this humble album of Christmas songs to your Holiday playlists!
I'm soooo thrilled for this collection to finally live on Vinyl, the most beautiful of all music formats!!! On double white-as-snow colored Vinyl, with beautiful art/design by Tim Damitz, no less! Mmmm. This is the first pressing and it's available and shipping RIGHT NOW!!
Also for the first time ever, "Christmas Collection, Volume One" is available on CD!! Mmmm plastic. Also available and shipping out right now!! This format pairs best alongside your favorite Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums! ;)
Episode 5 is out NOW and is allllll about "Christmas Collection, Volume One"! Hear the debut of this year's 2 new song additions, "The First Noel" and "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" and hear a brief breakdown of the entire 18-song collection and how the collection came together, etc! Let's Christmas together!
As I mentioned, a big part of the tradition of recording Christmas music each year is to gather support via Noisetrade for a charity I believe in. Please, please, please consider giving your support to Love Does, who are providing education and support to children in conflict zones. I love this organization and would be so very honored if you'd consider coming alongside them to support the beautiful and important work they are doing in this world. Learn more here.
Pssst... my brand-new Enneagram song "Two" will release everywhere on November 17th!!! (Sooner for Atlas Subscribers!) Can't wait to share!!! Here's the stunningly beautiful cover art for "Two", painted by Elicia Edijanto!!
I hope you enjoy the Christmas music!! Thank you for reading, listening and for being amazing! I am truly so grateful for you. Happy early Holidays!!
Huge Love,
Ryan - Sleeping At Last
