This collection serves as a companion piece to the Carrie & Lowell Live album released earlier this year (and as an expansion to the original album). In the same way the live show featured re-interpretations of the songs from Carrie & Lowell, the mixtape unveils new remixes by several longstanding collaborators including Roberto C. Lange (aka Helado Negro), Thomas Bartlett (aka Doveman), and James McAlister (aka 900X). The album also features Sufjan’s own remix of “Drawn to the Blood.” The mixtape includes a few alternate and/or demo versions of songs from the original album. The digital release also contains an iPhone demo of the song “Carrie & Lowell.” Greatest Gift features four previously unreleased new songs, “official” outtakes from Carrie & Lowell (they were recorded at the same time as the album). These include “Wallowa Lake Monster,” “The Hidden River of My Life,” “City of Roses,” and “The Greatest Gift.” This new material, in its investigation of love, life, death, God, and the beautiful state of Oregon, serves as a contemplative companion to the original album. We hope you enjoy.

Sufjan Stevens Carrie & Lowell Live 12 inch CATALOG / AKR132 RELEASE DATE / November 24, 2017 DESCRIPTION / Asthmatic Kitty Records is pleased to announce Carrie & Lowell Live, an audio and visual document of Sufjan’s November 9, 2015 performance at North Charleston Performing Arts Center in South Carolina. The translucent blue 12" release includes "Blue Bucket of Gold" on one side, a cover of Drake's "Hotline Bling" featuring Gallant on Side B, and a digital download to the full 16-track set.
LP BOX LOT / 50 LP PKG / Single Jacket LP UPC / 656605613611 LP RETURNABLE / No GENRE / Singer-songwriter FORMAT / 12 inch DISCOUNT / $0.50 standard, all formats EXPORT RESTRICTIONS / None COLORED VINYL / Translucent blue TRACK LISTING / SIDE A Blue Bucket of Gold w/Outro 18:32 SIDE B Hotline Bling (feat. Gallant) 4:50
The show, which was designed by Marc Janowitz, incorporated an expansive lighting display and cathedral-like LED columns featuring home videos shot by Sufjan’s maternal grandfather, Nick Marabeas. Much of this vintage footage highlights family birthdays, graduations, and weddings of Carrie and her siblings from the late 1940s through the early 1970s, lending the performances the emotional arc of a memorial, celebrating Carrie’s life and meditating on her death with a sweeping transcendence that gave testament to Sufjan’s central thesis of mourning: that in spite of death, we must go on living in fullness and joy.

JASON MOLINA THE BLACK SABBATH COVERS CATALOG #: SC355 RELEASE DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 2017 FORMAT: 7” 7” BOX LOT: 15 GENRE: ALTERNATIVE / ROCK KEY MARKETS: CHICAGO, NEW YORK, INDIANAPOLIS, LOS ANGELES, BLOOMINGTON TERRITORY RESTRICTIONS: EXCLUSIVE TO HOSTESS IN JAPAN VINYL NOT RETURNABLE
ABOUT THE ALBUM When Jason Molina took on another artist’s song, he willed his own universe into it, his own personal and artistic mythology. Be it Conway Twitty or Townes Van Zandt, their blues were infused with Molina's own entrancing blues. This pair of newly discovered, home-recorded Black Sabbath covers is no different. Molina, a through-and-through fan of metal (seek out his high school metal band the Spineriders' album if you haven’t yet) peels back the sinister and stoned elements of Sabbath, zeroing in on the loneliness and brooding. He takes “Solitude,” from 1971’s unfuckwithable Master of Reality — and one of Sabbath’s more mystical, nearproggy songs — and doubles down on the title. Molina extracts Ozzy Osbourne’s gorgeously cooed vocal performance and transforms it into a high and lonesome sound, a desert campfire howler. And on his cover of “Snowblind," from 1972’s Vol. 4, it becomes obvious what a guitar hero Sabbath’s Tony Iommi was for Molina. Molina seemed to pull from Iommi’s odd, simple fingerings and tunings throughout his catalogue: from his first album (known informally as “the black album”) to Magnolia Electric Co.’s Josephine. Molina’s brief acoustic cover dials back the bombast, but you can surely connect “Snowblind”’s chord progressions with Molina’s own on the black album and Axxess & Ace. Recorded in the midwest in the late ‘90s, during Molina’s multi-season run of batting 1.000, these two intimate songs are a bittersweet artifact of one of the Rust Belt’s titan songwriters. Note to buyer: Do not attempt to play Side B of this 7” release. Side B is a gorgeous etching of a black ram by artist Will Schaff. If you do attempt to play the etching on Side B it will sound absolutely awful.
